Recent
events

which
the
Republican
Party
is
in
disarray
and
deeply
divided. *
Trump
and
his
allies
are
threatening
to
back
primary
challengers
to
Republicans
who
they
see
as
insufficiently
loyal.
*
Republicans
are
resigning
from
the
party
in

a
party
that

lost
the

House,
the
House,

the
Senate.
They’ve
lost
the
faith
of
the
country.
