After Republicans regained control of government, President-elect Trump’s GOP opponents have dwindled, giving him even more power to pass legislation, says CNN’s senior data reporter Harry Enten. In January 2017, 17 Republicans voted to impeach or convict Trump, but now most of them are out of Congress, with just five remaining. This, according to Enten, shows that Trump’s control over the GOP is even stronger now. With the majority of the party supporting him, Trump should have no trouble pushing through legislation.
Enten’s data also shows that GOP voters overwhelmingly approve of Trump, with a staggering 96% supporting him. The number of those who disapprove has dwindled to just 4%. This further solidifies the fact that Trump is the leader of the Republican Party and that his supporters are unwavering in their loyalty to him. As CNN anchor Sara Sidner pointed out, there are no longer any opponents to Trump within the party.
In a recent interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Senator Mitt Romney, a longtime critic of Trump, acknowledged that the MAGA movement has taken over the Republican Party and that Trump is now the face of the party. He also predicted that the 2028 Republican nominee will be JD Vance, who is part of the MAGA movement.
This is a clear sign that Trump’s influence within the party will continue even after he leaves office. With his loyal supporters and the shift of the Republican Party towards the MAGA movement, Trump’s legacy and influence will undoubtedly continue for years to come.
But this isn’t surprising to anyone who has been paying attention. The mainstream media has been trying to paint Trump as a divisive figure, but the truth is that he has successfully united the Republican Party and has the support of the majority of GOP voters. This has only been strengthened with the recent election results, where Republicans maintained control of the Senate and House.
So while the liberal media may continue to push their narratives, the truth is that Trump’s party is stronger than ever and he will continue to be a dominant force in American politics. As the saying goes, “facts don’t care about feelings” and the facts are clear – this is Trump’s party.
