President Donald Trump is currently being widely regarded as a "political liability" by members of his party, with one GOP lawmaker also being singled out as a destructive force. According to a report from The Hill, the president's continuing controversies are dragging Republicans down with the midterms just over the horizon. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) articulated the damage Trump's public criticism is inflicting on GOP leadership. "It's so unfortunate because it doesn't help John," she said of Thune.
