Multiple Republican senators are openly defying Donald Trump by stating that they want Senate Majority Leader John Thune to serve another term. Thune has had to repeatedly tell Trump there are not enough votes in the upper chamber to be able to do either of these things. John Thune could be demoted to Senate minority leader if the GOP loses control of the upper chamber in November. While speaking to Punchbowl News, Trump suggested the Democrats will try to scrap it if they regain control of the upper chamber following the midterm elections. “And I tell you what, if they get it in, I will be the last Republican president,” he said.
