Trump is playing 'mutually assured destruction' in face-off with GOP lawmakers: report

Donald Trump is playing a game of chicken with three Republican senators seeking re-election in November, withholding endorsements while avoiding direct opposition to preserve Senate control, according to new reporting.

According to Politico reporters Sophia Cai and Alex Gangitano, Senators Susan Collins (R-ME), John Cornyn (R-TX), and Bill Cassidy (R-LA) will not receive presidential support in the near term due to their opposition to various White House initiatives. However, the situation remains fluid.
