2019-10-25 | Donald Trump Has a Senate Problem - The Atlantic
'As the White House struggles to build an anti-impeachment strategy, President Donald Trump turned this week to Lindsey Graham, his staunchest ally in the Senate, to try to stiffen Republican spines in that chamber. '
'On Thursday, Graham announced that he’d put forward a resolution condemning the House impeachment inquiry. '
'And yet by Friday morning, only 44 of 53 Republicans in the Senate had signed on to the resolution. '
' But with impeachment in the House an all-but-foregone conclusion, as I wrote earlier this week, the administration is turning its focus to the Senate, and it’s proving to be less of a redoubt than Trump wanted. '
'A gesture meant to be a show of solidarity by senators has instead become a sign of the weakness of the president’s position. '
