The Republican Party is undergoing internal strife due to the influence of MAGA, led by Trump, causing a significant shift in party norms and values.

Individuals like Marjorie Taylor Greene have gained power within the party, leveraging House rules to create chaos. Greene's motion to vacate the Speaker of the House could potentially lead to turmoil within the party, with most Republicans not wanting such a fight.
