In an interview with POLITICO Magazine, Bracewell’s Liam Donovan laid out the political future facing the next Senate majority leader, calling it “a fundamental hinge point in the future of the Senate as an institution.”
Donovan said that “it’s up to the members now to determine what that future looks like.”
“I think it’s a unique moment in that the president-elect has an opportunity to shape the prerogatives of the senators more so than probably any president before him, and certainly more than we might have guessed a week ago.”
“These are reasonable, smart, savvy operators who have been at the highest level of leadership for decades now,” Donovan added. “But I think they are taking this job with eyes open in terms of what it means to be in the Republican Party of 2024 in a Trump trifecta.”
