Pak Sahafat – The intensification of differences between the supporters and opponents of the former US President Donald Trump has made the Republicans worried that this current civil war will end to their detriment in the 2024 elections.
According to Pak Sahafat News Agency’s report, Hill’s website wrote in this regard: The increasing hostility between the forces defending and opposing Trump has created a prospect that is not pleasant for any of the Republicans: The civil war of the Republican Party can divide it into two different spectrums and pave the way for the great victory of the Democrats in the 2024 presidential elections.
Republicans worry that two years of war will not only jeopardize the White House, but also help unify Democrats in Congress and control the administration of the country for the remaining two years of Joe Biden’s administration and beyond.
Newt Gingrich, a Republican from Georgia, raised the possibility last week, saying his “greatest fear” is a repeat of what happened in 1964, when the party was divided between supporters of Barry Goldwater and Nelson Rockefeller.
Gingrich told the New York Times: He doesn’t think the war between Trump’s supporters and opponents will end in the next two years, which would ensure a dramatic re-election victory for Biden and Democratic control of everything.
Other senior Republicans have so far been unwilling to push the panic button, saying they are unsure of a repeat of 1964 because Trump and the party’s potential nominees are ready to solve the problem.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said that there is tension in the Democratic Party and there is no exception in internal tensions in both parties.
But the war started by Trump has become more public. Rona McDaniel, chair of the Republican National Committee, was repeatedly asked in an interview on Fox Business about the former president’s influence on the 2022 midterm elections and the Senate runoff in the state of Georgia.
Several candidates endorsed by the former president failed to win key Senate races, including in Arizona, Pennsylvania and Nevada. In Georgia, Sen. Raphael Warnock, a Democrat, defeated Trump-backed Republican candidate Herschel Walker in a runoff election last week.
Republicans expected to win a significant majority in the US House of Representatives in the 2022 mid-term congressional elections. Their failure to achieve the desired goals caused some figures of this party to pay attention to the issue of Trump’s influence in the elections.
According to the announcement of Trump’s readiness to participate in the elections, some senior Republican figures believe that this will affect the party and draw attention to Biden just like the mid-term congressional elections.
According to some Republicans, the overall message of this party needs to change. The defeat of many Trump-endorsed candidates in November’s congressional races was due to months of efforts to expose fraud in the 2020 election, and it showed that voters, particularly in Arizona and Georgia, had too much patience to continue. They do not have these discussions. In these two states, the candidates supported by Trump failed to win popular votes.
