Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) says he believes that the impeachment trial has galvanized Republican voters and furthermore, suggested, In the end its not likely to have much of an impact on any of the races, the presidential or the Senate races.
But according to the Washington Post, he is organizing a weekend retreat for GOP senators and donors for popsicles and prosecco by the pool at the Breakers Resort in Palm Beach, Florida, to assess how impeachment has affected their chances of keeping the majority.
With the exception of Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), all Senate Republicans joined together to acquit President Donald Trump of both articles of impeachment. This includes vulnerable Republicans representing competitive states in elections this year, like Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME), Cory Gardner (R-UT), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Martha McSally (R-AZ), and Joni Ernst (R-IA).
Senate Democrats have no plans to let their voters forget these votes.
Armed with polling showing voters largely supported an expanded trial, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is trying to raise money for key challengers to Republican incumbents, wrote reporter Paul Kane. We know youre angry, the DSCC began its Friday missive.

(8,965 posts)After the Bolton story broke during the trial. At that point, a number of GOP senators were inclined to be in favor of calling witnesses, as were 75% of voters. Then during a long meeting, McConnell summarily reined his sheep back in, and a hear-no-evil sham trial ensued. So the fallout has already been manufactured and wholly owned by these people. The 5 or so senators were already on thin ice, and all the poolside popsicles in the world is not going to save them.
