Senate GOP Adrift Ahead of Trump Trial

Politico: “Senate Republicans talk as a party as many as three times a week during normal times. But these times are anything but normal. The Senate GOP has not spoken as a conference for more than two weeks now.”

“Now, as McConnell’s conference prepares to enter minority status and faces another grueling impeachment trial, senators are largely being left without guidance from leadership over how to come down on Trump. The conference, so divided now over the outgoing president, is being given space to breathe.”
