Democratic Party Senators from states with Republican governors

should be receiving 24/7 Secret Service protection for at least the next two years. The seditionist party would likely assassinate a Democratic senator if given the opportunity. With a visible Secret Service contingent a coward assassin would know he/she is about to die if they dare act to harm.

I’m hoping Schumer has all this security in place or mobilizing.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is in denial.

On edit, those Republican governors could materially enhance the safety of those Democratic senators by publicly pledging to replace them, should the need arise, with Democrats.

What are the odds?

Some of the most liberal states have republican governors and two Democratic Senators...Vermont, Maryland and Massachusetts
