From the chief political correspondent at Politico, a tweet thread explaining why congressional Republicans feel cowed by Trump at work and at home.

His retirement is less relevant than you might think. Trump’s grip on the GOP has implications far beyond elected office. Lamar is looking forward to a life after politics — and he knows it will be complicated by any break w/ Trump over impeachment.
