snip-The G-10 senators are: SHELLEY MOORE CAPITO of West Virginia, BILL CASSIDY of Louisiana, SUSAN COLLINS of Maine, JERRY MORAN of Kansas, LISA MURKOWSKI of Alaska, ROB PORTMAN of Ohio, MITT ROMNEY of Utah, MIKE ROUNDS of South Dakota, THOM TILLIS of North Carolina and TODD YOUNG of Indiana.
snip-"In the span of a few months, the G-10 has gone from the center of politics in DONALD TRUMPS Washington to the policy sidelines in President JOE BIDENS.Back to the nightmare. It starts with what they see as some hardwired media narratives they cant shake: that Biden is a reasonable, deal-making moderate and that Republicans talk about compromise but really just want to obstruct. Its a perception that has given the White House all the leverage.
While these senators mostly despised Trump, they were the engine of policymaking for his final Covid relief bill. While they mostly respect Biden, they have so far been irrelevant to his legislative push despite his inaugural promise of unity.
suffer GOP senators you danced with the devil.
