Deep dives
The Transformation of the Republican Party
The Republican Party has undergone significant transformation since the beginning of the Trump era, evolving into a more radicalized entity. This shift is evident as Trump has not only solidified support among his core base but has also managed to appeal to independent voters and low-frequency voters, utilizing a message centered on discontent and dissatisfaction with the current administration. The ongoing economic struggles, such as inflation and a rising cost of living, have amplified these sentiments, contributing to a broader anti-incumbency spirit that resonates both domestically and globally. The radicalization of the core Republican base leaves a question about the party's future trajectory and its ongoing willingness to embrace Trump’s controversial leadership style.
