AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster Some Republicans have been hesitant to support President Donald Trump's 2020  re-election bid — but they are still helping in other ways. On Capitol Hill, some GOP lawmakers have been reluctant to throw their weight behind Trump's re-election bid just yet, but let's get real, a scenario in which the Republican Party chooses not to support its incumbent president is almost entirely inconceivable. CNN caught up with several GOP lawmakers, some of whom were hesitant to express support for Trump's already launched 2020 campaign, and they either offered non-answers, deflections or insistence that the 2018 midterms are their only concern: The comments highlight the continuing uneasiness many Republicans have over Trump's presidency, and the lingering questions about how the multiple legal battles the president is facing — from the allegations of hush money to silence an alleged affair with the porn actress Stormy Daniels, the raid of his personal attorney Michael Cohen's properties and special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation — will eventually shake out.

    Andra Watkins discussed her Substack newsletter, "How Project 2025 Will Ruin Your Life," on Rick Wilson's podcast on April 22. The growing threat of the Republican Party's ties to Christian Nationalism and Project 2025 is terrifying. Watkins helps more people understand the threat we are facing. Rick Wilson urged everyone to read "How Project 2025 Will Ruin Your Life," because the "implications for the country are darker than you may imagine." Watkins is a New York Times bestselling author who spent her "formative years in a Moral Majority-era Christian Nationalist church and school in rural South Carolina."
