At what point do constituents of Republican Senators have an influence over them?

Democratic and Republican voters are suffering equally.

At some point of rising costs of living, Republicans will break with dying Trump. They’ll blame his old age, and as Lindsey Graham put it “that Hitler shit.”

He still has about 75% approval among Republican voters, and just under 50% "strongly" approve.

That puts Republican senators who might want to break with him in a tough position.

It's possible that if the Iran war drags on and things get much worse, that could change, but I don't see it happening overnight.
