These Republican lawmakers are 'uneasy' about Trump's success in GOP primary: report
There's more than enough time for some GOP lawmakers to support their presidential candidate, whoever it may be.
While Trump won Iowa by a 30-point margin over Florida Ron DeSantis and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, some in D.C. believe the contest isn't over and therefore aren't endorsing Trump yet, according to CNN.
“I’ve always been worried” about Trump’s chances when it comes to the general election," Sen. John Thune (R-SD), who is the No. 2 Senate Republican, told the outlet.
He said that the general elections are won "in the middle of the electorate."

If the Republican Party wants to take hold of the Senate, it has to be a presidential candidate that can win in November.
“All that has repercussions for Senate races, too," he said. "If we want to get the majority, we need a strong showing at the top of the ticket that translates into some down-ballot success.”
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) still believes the process isn't microwaved.
“If the primaries were all held today, Donald Trump would be the Republican nominee," he said in an interview with CNN. "But it’s not over yet. We’ll see how it all unfolds.”
Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) simply vowed to back whoever can win back 1600 Pennsylvania.
“I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that President Joe Biden does not occupy the White House,” she told CNN a day after the Iowa Caucuses.
Posed with whether he may have to consider Trump as the GOP's nominee for president, Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, who so far has tried to turn the page on Trump, did not respond to CNN's request for comment.
