What I’m hearing privately from a few key GOP senators: yes, they’d prefer to not have a messy fight over Gaetz. Not their favorite. But they also don’t have a lot of energy for pushing back. Trump runs the show, they say. If Gaetz can reassure them, they’re open to backing him.

Collins and Murkowski will vote no because it will be meaningless. A couple others will have concerns. But none of them want a war with Trump this early. They'll give him what he wants out the gate.
