Punchbowl News: “An extraordinary situation has unfolded in recent days as Trump has lashed out at Biden and praised Putin. There’s nothing like this in U.S. history as far as we can remember. The Republican leadership and senior ranks of the party have basically ignored Trump on this issue, and they’ll continue to do so.”
“Yet this could become a serious problem within the GOP the longer this situation goes on. The November elections are less than nine months away. Republicans already blame Biden for provoking the Ukraine invasion by botching the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan last year. Can they back Biden now on Ukraine while the leader of their party – and Trump is the leader – rails against the president? What will this mean for Trump’s own future?”
