In an interview with Politico, the president gleefully rattled off a list of now-former senators who turned their back on him and are now out of office in an apparent effort to intimidate the likes of Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) and other Republican senators trying to distance themselves from the president.
Among those who Trump invoked were Bob Corker a Tennessee Republican who did not seek reelection in 2018.
I went after him, Trump said. No longer a senator.
He also took on Nevadas Dean Heller who lost his seat in 2018 to Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV).
How did it work out for the great senator of Nevada? Trump said. Not too good.
