BREAKING: Senator Dick Durbin delivers a powerful warning to Republicans to hop off the sinking ship or share Donald Trump’s “fate” as his presidency implodes amidst crashing poll numbers.
The MAGA train is careening towards the end of the rail…
“This is a different moment in history than I’ve read about or seen in my lifetime for sure. This is a moment where there’s a threat to the Constitution of the United States and our constitutional democracy,” Durbin said on MSNBC.
Donald Trump has repeatedly undermined our Constitution with the most recent example being his refusal to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States despite a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling that he must.
“That is a fundamental and it’s in front of every decision of policy that we might make,” Durbin continued. “We have to get it together.”
“I will plead with my Republican friends: Stand up for the Constitution,” he went on. “You took an oath and swore you’d defend this Constitution. It needs defense now more than ever with the actions by President Trump.”
“In a hundred days of this administration the question is not whether or not Trump is sinking in the polling — and he appears to be — but whether his fate is going to be shared by other Republicans and whether they have the courage to join Democrats and do the right things and stand up for the Constitution,” said Durbin.
“That to me I think just supersedes all conversations about campaigns and even issues,” he concluded.
Durbin is right that Trump’s polling is sinking. Just this morning he threw a Truth Social tantrum over a new poll from Fox News that shows his approval rating has dropped to 44% from 49% in March.
Not only that, but his numbers after less than 100 days are lower than the 45% he had during his first term. Joe Biden was at 54% at this point, Barack Obama at 62%, and George W. Bush at 63%.
The question is not whether the American people are turning on Trump, that much is undeniable. The question is whether or not any of the Republicans who have enabled him will see the writing on the wall and abandon him in time to save their own careers.
