According to interviews conducted by The Hill, several Republican senators are now saying they just cannot be members of the Republican Party if they are forced to represent the interests of the base voter.
The senators are openly warning that if putting American interests first is going to be demanded by the voters, these Republicans will just become Democrats.
There is no reason for Americans to distrust the institutions the Republican senators support, and there will be no compromise or discussion.
What is making these Republican senators angrier is that who they consider to be intellectual and professional people are also demanding a more populist approach toward a government that represents the people.
WASHINGTON DC - [] "We should be concerned about this as Republicans. I'm having more 'rational Republicans' coming up to me and saying, 'I just don't know how long I can stay in this party,'" said Sen. Lisa Murkowski.
Republican senators say they are alarmed at how many Republicans, including those with higher levels of education and income, buy the unsubstantiated claims that the last presidential election was stolen.
Senate Republican Whip John Thune pushed back on calls to defund the Justice Department, telling reporters: "Are we going to get rid of the Justice Department? No. I think defunding is a really bad idea."
