- Senate Republicans are publicly siding with the conservative Supreme Court justices who drew a "withering attack" from Trump this week after ruling against his USPS ballot-screening proposal.
- The Supreme Court rejected Trump's plan to have the U.S. Postal Service verify non-citizen status on mail-in ballots, a ruling that triggered the president's offensive against the justices.
Why it matters: Republican senators publicly backing the Court over Trump on a high-profile election-integrity issue puts daylight between the president and his own party's senators on institutional independence — a notable break given the GOP's longstanding alliance with Trump.
