Earlier this month, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who ran against Trump in the Republican presidential primary in 2016, warned that the GOP faced a "bloodbath" and could lose control of the Senate and the White House in November.
Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska used the same term when explaining why he isn't campaigning for Trump in audio leaked to the Washington Examiner earlier this month. In the same tape, Sasse also criticized Trump for being a president who "kisses dictators' butts."
A senior Senate Republican aide told Reuters that Trump' coronavirus diagnosis earlier this month was "the nail in the coffin" for the party.
Even Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is keeping his distance from the president — he hasn't visited the White House in months, citing the administration's lax coronavirus protections.
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch, who owns the right-leaning Fox News and New York Post, is also predicting a Biden landslide, according to reports from The New York Times and Daily Beast.
