The Misadventures of Moscow Mitch: Politico: Is the Crisis Putting the Republican Senate in Jeopardy?
If you look at history, Trump isn’t the only politician the crisis could take down.
By JEFF GREENFIELD
It’s a question as obvious as it is critical: How will the trio of crises—the pandemic, the economy, the demands for racial justice—affect the 2020 race for the White House. But in Washington, there are other implications that could matter almost as much to the direction of national policy, chief among them the Senate.
In many ways this is a question equal in importance to the outcome of the presidential race. Just picture Trump without a GOP Senate to rubber-stamp his Supreme Court picks—or a President Biden forced to fight Mitch McConnell for every inch of ground.
