President Trump's narrative regarding the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack has solidified its hold over the Republican Party, influencing recent primary elections. Candidates who support Trump's claims have emerged victorious, effectively sidelining traditional Republicans who oppose his viewpoint. For instance, in Georgia, Lt. Gov. Burt Jones defeated Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who had resisted Trump's attempts to overturn the election results. The trend continues with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who won a primary with Trump's endorsement, and in Louisiana, where Sen. Bill Cassidy, who voted to impeach Trump, lost to Trump-backed candidates. The shift is evident as only two of the original ten House Republicans who voted for impeachment remain, with many others leaving Congress. States United Action reports that 115 candidates questioning the legitimacy of the 2020 election are running for office in 2026. This consolidation of Trump's narrative is reshaping the GOP's approach to election integrity, as seen in proposed legislation requiring proof of citizenship for voting. Overall, the party's direction is increasingly aligned with Trump's ideology, raising concerns about its impact on governance and institutional norms.
