The report depicts the growing disconnect between Trump’s demands and Republicans’ need to move on: “Similar clashes between Republican leaders and the candidates Trump has embraced have been playing out across the country with growing ferocity in recent months, a chaotic sign that Trump’s once unchallenged hold on the party and rank-and-file supporters is waning, even if by degrees,” write the Post’s Josh Dawsey and Michael Scherer before adding that Trump’s continued focus on personal grievances is increasingly questioned behind closed doors at Republican gatherings, according to interviews with more than a dozen prominent Republicans in Washington and across the country, including some Trump advisers.”
As a result, Trump and his remaining supporters now find themselves fighting against some elected GOP leaders, donors, and party leaders who plan on turning the party slowly away from him and his false election claims.
