As mostly fake controversies are ginned up about Trump’s nominees, his team said senators who rejected his nominees would be primaried.
ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl reports that one senior Trump adviser said the message to lawmakers is, “If you are on the wrong side of the vote, you’re buying yourself a primary.”
“That is all,” the adviser told Karl. “And there’s a guy named Elon Musk who is going to finance it.”
“The president gets to decide his Cabinet. No one else,” the adviser added.
This is basically what Democrats say they’ll do if they don’t fall in line. Somehow this has the media concerned.
Potential Problem Senators:
- Bill Cassidy
- Susan Collins
- John Cornyn
- John Curtis
- Joni Ernst
- Mitch McConnell
- Markwayne Mullin
- Lisa Murkowski
- Todd Young
