Deep dives

The Republican Party's failure to distance themselves from Donald Trump

The Republican Party had multiple opportunities in 2023 to break away from Donald Trump and his destructive influence, but they failed to do so. Despite Trump's criminal indictments and damaging actions, he remains a dominant force within the party, with many Republicans endorsing him and rallying around him. This lack of accountability and the party's refusal to prioritize the country's well-being over political gains poses significant challenges going into the 2024 elections.
