“If he were to run in 2024, I think he would be the nominee. And I would support him doing that,” said Sen. Hawley

“It’d be great if he ran," said Sen. Rick Scott

@MZanona “I would encourage him to keep that option open. I would personally support him if he did,” says Sen. Graham

“If President Trump runs in ‘24, I support it." says Sen. Daines

Sen. Blackburn: "People in Tennessee are very enthusiastic about a second Trump term.”
@MZanona Rubio: “We’re so far away from that. I will tell you this. If he runs, I think he would clearly be the favorite. I think he would win"

Gaetz: Trump “should run and would have the support of the party.”
@MZanona Interesting Rep. Banks quote

“I’m from Indiana, and I want to see my guy, Mike Pence, in the White House one day,” Banks said. “And hopefully, [in] 2024, we’ll have Mike Pence on the ballot one way or another.”

The easiest way for Neera Tanden to win confirmation as Joe Biden’s budget director is for Democrats to take the Senate in January. Otherwise, she faces a perilous path to winning a majority vote in the chamber.

“radioactive,” as Sen. Cornyn put jt

“I really am a little surprised, particularly on the OMB nominee that there hadn't been at least some consultation. I mean some of these problems can be avoided. And people, you know, saved from the embarrassment.”
Tanden deleted attacks on some GOP senators, some of whom she will need to support her

“She's been pretty partisan in some of her previous positions. And in many cases, with respect to Republican senators who would have to vote on her potential nomination,” said Sen. Thune

Durbin didn't become Dem leader. But he's poised to become key player in Biden presidency as whip while leading the Dems on Judiciary. Some think it's too much for one member to do, and liberals pushing for Whitehouse instead

@marianne_levine
@marianne_levine .@fshakir, former Bernie campaign manager says: “Nothing personal against Durbin, but with Feinstein stepping down, I think there’s a need for some new blood and new style and approaches. Sen. Whitehouse could breathe some new energy into the committee,”
@marianne_levine @fshakir .@AdamGreen of PCCC said "Sheldon Whitehouse is one of the most strategic and savvy fighters in the Democratic Caucus. Dick Durbin has a big job as Senate Whip, and we assume he would be thrilled for someone as good as Senator Whitehouse to play a leading role in Judiciary"

NEWS w @marianne_levine: Feinstein not seeking top D spot on Judiciary next year
@marianne_levine Durbin is next in line: No comment from his world right now.

After that is Whitehouse.

Will be hugely important job regardless of who is in majority. Either moving Biden's nominees as chairman, or trying to persuade Chuck Grassley to move them as ranking member

Sen. Ben Sasse statement: "President Trump lost Michigan by more than 100,000 votes, and the campaign and its allies have lost in or withdrawn from all five lawsuits in Michigan for being unable to produce any evidence...
...wild press conferences erode public trust. So no, obviously Rudy and his buddies should not pressure electors to ignore their certification obligations under the statute. We are a nation of laws, not tweets.”
Pretty lengthy statement. He also said: “When Trump campaign lawyers have stood before courts under oath, they have repeatedly refused to actually allege grand fraud — because there are legal consequences for lying to judges,” politico.com/news/2020/11/1…

“I was going to tell him thank you for a good job," she said after Krebs was fired. "I’m still going to tell him that — just not today"

Rs pile on Trump's "terrible mistake" last night

politico.com/news/2020/11/1…

@AndrewDesiderio
@AndrewDesiderio Capito: "Disappointed ... can't explain it"

Romney: "Terrible mistake"

Cornyn: "it just adds to the confusion and chaos ... I’m sure I’m not the only one that would like some return to a little bit more of a — I don’t even know what’s normal anymore.”
@AndrewDesiderio Krebs’ firing comes amid a purge of senior officials viewed as insufficiently loyal to the president Esper was the first to go, then Krebs. Wray and Haspel next?

“If it looks like there’s just a flurry of them, it will raise more questions,” Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) acknowledged
