Sen. Ben Sasse reiterated on Sunday that he frequently considers leaving the Republican Party and is tired of the partisan gridlock inside the Washington Beltway. Republicans hold a 51-49 edge in the Senate going into the November elections. Sasse has been one of the most frequent and vocal critics of Trump policies – calling out the president for his handling of issues ranging from gun control to tariffs. Sasse also made news last week when he lashed out at Trump for complaining that his own Justice Department's indictments against two Republican congressmen were endangering the GOP's midterm election prospects. "The United States is not some banana republic with a two-tiered system of justice — one for the majority party and one for the minority party," Sasse said in a statement.
