Republicans Deb Fischer of Nebraska, Roger Wicker of Mississippi and John Barrasso of Wyoming all received calls on Wednesday. All have been reported to be on the list of those expected to be challenged next year by Steve Bannon-backed candidates…

A source briefed on the conversation with Wicker said the senator was surprised by the roughly 15-minute call but welcomed the president’s support. Wicker’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
