Republican narrative
You can’t shake Trump’s grip on the Republican party and its voters — they simply love him. And it’s obvious that every indictment against him makes Trump stronger in the eyes of the GOP.

This disturbing poll shows that Republicans are cultish when it comes to Trump. Despite Trump's chronicled shortcomings — not to mention the indictments he’s facing — the GOP still overwhelmingly has his back. Republicans have put the country in a precarious position with 2024 just around the corner.
