"I'm sure it comes from good intentions," Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), the current GOP Senate whip who is running to replace McConnell, told Axios. "But I don't know, I have to think about whether or not that's something that you would want to mandate on insurance companies," Thune added.
"We ought to have that discussion," said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas.), who is also running for leader. When asked if he personally supported the idea, Cornyn only said that he supports an open debate and a vote.
"We can talk about how funding works," Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), currently running unopposed for the No. 2 spot in the Senate GOP, told Axios. Barrasso emphasized that "every Republican I know supports in vitro fertilization."
"There's no end to that," Sen. Linsey Graham (R-S.C.) stated, showing his opposition to the insurance mandate idea, while Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) expressed openness, highlighting the divide among Trump allies.
