President Joe Biden recently said the Republican Party was seeing fewer members in its ranks. "I think it's appropriate to say that the Republican Party is vastly diminished in numbers," Biden said during a news conference earlier this month.
Although there have been some "fractures in the GOP leadership," the party's membership and support remain strong, according to The Associated Press. A Gallup poll in May showed 29% of Americans identify as Republican while 33% of those surveyed said they were Democrats. Those numbers are basically the same as the results of a survey from a year ago. Following the November election, Republicans narrowed Democrats' margin in the House by flipping 15 seats that had been held by Democrats and the Senate equally is divided at 50-50. There are 27 states run by Republican governors compared to 23 states led by Democrats.
