There Are No Post-Trump Republicans | Osita Nwanevu | TMR

The narrative since the 2022 midterms is that Trump's influence on the Republican Party is slipping. But don't count Trump out yet because most of the base and much of the new blood in the GOP caucus is in his mold.

I'm really excited to welcome you back to the program. I think it's been like that since gosh. it's been a little. It's been January I think. He is a contributing editor at the New Republic. working on a book that we are anticipating here. Osita welcomed me back to the program. Thanks for having me. Let's start with Kristen Sinema. It's in the news. Not necessarily a huge surprise. But what's your sense of like is this going to mean anything? You know I'm always wary of talking about it just because I think that it gives her so much of the attention that she so obviously craves. I think that she's kind of motivated more than anything else by the sense that she wants to poke people in the eye. That she wants to be seen as this kind of inscrutable mysterious figure people is always trying to figure out. But yeah to the extent that I've read about it this morning, it doesn't seem like anything within the Senate is going to materially change. She's going to by her own accounts make you know the same kind of vote she's been making she's not signaling this is like an ideological shift. Organizationally doesn't seem like Democrats are gonna have a different situation now. But where things are going to change I think the White House has said this morning too is in Arizona right? So instead of a real primary challenge, people were expecting between her and I guess it was going to be Reuben Gallego. Now she's an independent candidate. And it seems like she's basically forced Democrats into this situation where she's saying look like you can run another Democratic candidate in 24 but you're going to split the Democratic vote and you're probably going to hand this suit over to Republicans so you're better off just sticking with me. So it seems like she's kind of finished the situation in the state where she wants Democrats to believe that the smart move is to have nobody really challenge her. That seems to be the real shift that's happened here. but in terms of the actual makeup of the Senate and the Democratic majority, I don't know that things change right now but we'll.
