After they got over the initial shock of McConnell’s announcement on Wednesday, the race to replace him – namely among the “Three Johns,” Senate Minority Whip John Thune, Senate Republican Conference Chairman John Barrasso and Senator John Cornyn of Texas – has begun at a quick pace. When asked whether it would be helpful to for Trump to endorse a candidate, he said “as long as it’s the candidate I’m supporting.” Of course, Trump never shies away from saying whatever he wants to say and Senate Republicans know this. “But I think that there's more than one person that he could support.” Even Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, one of the most hard-right Republicans who regularly dabbles in conspiracy theories, said that Senate Republicans had to handle the matter and said emphatically that it would not serve Republicans well for Trump to support someone. “And I think that at the end of the day people are going to vote the leader they're most comfortable with.” Of course, Trump has already begun to encroach on the territory of the Senate in recent months after the upper chamber’s leadership long considered itself – rightly or wrongly – an island mostly devoid of extremism.
