Not unless it's going to cost them their seats.


Which, in most cases, it probably won't. They're called "safe seats" for a reason, as you well know.

I also suspect they would be afraid of angering their MAGA constituents, since they seem to be prone to threats of violence. I'm sure they get threats all the time, but I read somewhere (forget where) that there has been an uptick since MAGA hit the scene. And, of course, we know about the running over pedestrians and riots and plots to kidnap governors.

I dislike McConnell, but even he was reticent to voice much opposition until the Felon was out (in 2020), and now again when he's decided to hang it up this term (and so doesn't care about angering MAGA). He is one of the last classic Reps. They all seem to be MAGA Reps now.
