A local expert says the division among the Republican Party may have a lasting effect. I think weâre going to see long-term division and the republican party,â said political science expert Paul Rozycki.
He thinks the GOPâs disarray isn t going away after President Donald Trump leaves office. Number one is division in the republican party of the Trump republicans and the more traditional republicans,â he said. âI wouldnât be shocked in the years to come to see the emergence of a third party, the Trump-style party.
Tension is looming over the Republican Party. You can see lawmakersâ distance themselves from the president s rhetoric after this week s breach of the capitol, while some keeping strong support for the outgoing administration.
