Several key Republican senators are leaping to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's defense as the Kentucky lawmaker's relationship with President Donald Trump continues to deteriorate. Sen. John Cornyn, the second-highest ranking Republican in the Senate, voiced support for McConnell on Twitter Friday, saying that "no one is more qualified" than the Senate majority leader to advance the President's legislative agenda.
Speculation is growing that President Trump will buck his own party and back primary challengers to two incumbent GOP senators seeking reelection in 2018, an exceedingly rare event that would deepen divisions within a party that is already struggling to govern despite controlling the White House and both chambers of Congress.

Republicans face a problem as they try to defend a slim majority in the Senate and win races elsewhere: Insurgent primary candidates are trying to lay claim to President Donald Trump's mantle, and knock out the establishment's choices. The latest case is in Nevada, where endangered GOP incumbent Sen. Dean Heller drew a challenge Tuesday from businessman and repeat failed candidate Danny Tarkanian, who announced his bid in an early morning Fox News Channel appearance seemingly aimed at an audience of one: the president himself.

As tens of millions of Americans prepared for the very real possibility they would lose their health care last week, Nevada's U.S. Sen. Dean Heller was doing a whole lot of nervous giggling. In one instance, Heller awkwardly laughed a little too heartily when President Trump casually threatened him on national television after positioning him as his right-hand man at a White House luncheon, asking the country, "Look, he wants to remain a senator, doesn't he?" Heller's uncomfortable goofy grin and insincere chuckles spoke volumes, and it was obvious at that moment that he had received the President's message and would choose Trump over his constituents.

Weary Republicans in Washington may be ready to move on, but conservatives across the country are warning that the GOP-led Congress cannot abandon its pledge to repeal "Obamacare" without triggering a political nightmare in next year's midterm elections. NEW YORK>> Weary Republicans in Washington may be ready to move on from health care, but conservatives across the United States are warning the GOP-led Congress not to abandon its pledge to repeal the Obama-era health law - or risk a political nightmare in next year's elections.
Friday morning's failure to repeal the Affordable Care Act is putting pressure on the Republican Party to push through a complex tax overhaul measure, while heading into the 2018 midterm elections that could flip control of the House and Senate back to the Democratic Party. Lawmakers have not given up on the seven-year-long effort to undo Obamacare, reports The Washington Post, but with Friday's failure to push through a "skinny repeal" measure that would have stripped many mandates from the healthcare plan, incumbent lawmakers are left with accusations that they did not live up to the promises that got them elected.
The rushed, secretive, reckless effort to get a "win," any win, by undoing the Obama health care plan is at an end-for now. It is over because the 48 Democratic and independent senators led by Chuck Schumer refused to be peeled off or to support a measure that was opposed by most of the public and by all professional groups involved in health care.
It's looking likely that GOP legislation to revamp Obamacare will undergo a pretty major weight loss program before all is said and done. Expectations are building that Senate leaders will ultimately present Republicans with a " skinny " bill after more aggressive measures fail during some 20 hours of floor debate over the next few days.
In recent days, John McCain was diagnosed with brain cancer ; Rand Paul savaged his party's health-care plan as " crony capitalism "; and Nevada's Dean Heller - the GOP's most vulnerable Senator in 2018 - denounced the bill's Medicaid cuts , while arguing that it wouldn't do anything to lower premiums. But on Tuesday, John McCain got back to town - and Paul and Heller got onboard.
Six months after [taking] complete control of the federal government, the Republican Party stands divided as ever - plunged into a messy war among its factions that has escalated in recent weeks to crisis levels. Frustrated lawmakers are increasingly sounding off at a White House awash in turmoil and struggling to accomplish its legislative agenda.
