In the wake of his 2024 election victory, Donald Trump has been outspoken in calling for a stronger, more unified Republican Party. According to Trump, the GOP needs to “get it together” in order to maintain its political dominance and effectively challenge progressive policies. While his call for party unity has resonated with many of his supporters, others within the GOP argue that Trump’s divisive approach has caused lasting fractures within the party. As the GOP looks toward the future, is Trump’s criticism fair, or does he underestimate the complexities of party cohesion?
Yes
He is.
No
He isn’t.
