The article catalogs effectively that solely President Donald Trump has been capable of maintain collectively the disparate MAGA constituencies voting for the GOP.
A lot will proceed to be debated about how lengthy Trump’s grip will maintain in an try and search for clues as to the place the Republican Get together is headed. The eventual splintering of the MAGA coalition was by no means doubtful and is being foreshadowed by the Epstein saga and the defiance by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. The open questions are when and what is going to set off it.
Trump’s maintain over his occasion is weakening and unsurprisingly, the GOP representatives motivated by self-preservation are beginning to look to a brand new future, hopefully together with a return to considered financial and local weather insurance policies.
