Republicans struggle to break from Trump after midterm losses

rawstory.com —

Republicans face difficulty distancing themselves from President Donald Trump after their worst midterm defeat in 50 years, with calls to move on growing but no clear path forward. The party lost statewide races in Texas, Iowa, and Kansas, while a Democrat led in Mississippi's Senate race. Trump's super PAC holds over $164 million, and he retains support from most right-wing media and primary voters. Some Republicans propose Nikki Haley, Brian Kemp, or Glenn Youngkin as 2028 candidates, but analysts doubt Trump will be abandoned, citing his continued influence over the party's agenda and fundraising.
