A tide is turning in the Republican Party, and all in the Trump administration’s final hour. Events of the past week suggest the beginning of the end of Republican unity under Donald Trump.

The GOP dynamic during Trump’s presidency has been one mostly of comity and consensus, with only a few exceptions. Certainly, Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Ben Sasse, and Mitt Romney established themselves as frequent Trump contrarians. Murkowski and Collins objected to his appointing Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s successor. Romney voted for impeachment. Sasse complained that he “kisses dictators’ butts.”
