If former President Trump and his fellow Republicans lose in November, weeks like this might be to blame. Trump is beloved by the Republican Party’s MAGA base. But the far-right stamp he’s put on the GOP is bursting into view in ways that are giving even some Republicans pause — and could complicate their push for the swing voters they’ll need in November.
