Whether or not Trump wins the 2020 POTUS election, the Republicans fear being led into the wilderness by Donald Trump as their control of the senate is under threat in 2020.
The GOP lawmakers have nothing to show after 2+ years of Donald Trump and in fact, the GOP lawmakers have been marginalized and have become invisible under Trump's media blitzkrieg which has stolen their oxygen.

It could threaten their control of the White House and cost them the Senate.

Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania — a leading free-trader — recently told Politico, "there's no question that trade uncertainty is contributing to the slowdown."
