King Trump and the Looming MAGA Challenge
on May 24, 2026 at 9:00 pm
<![CDATA[ Donald Trump is the undisputed king of the Republican Party. Earlier this month, Trump exacted revenge on Indiana state senators who had opposed his call to redistrict the Hoosier State; his endorsees won a majority of races against incumbents. Last weekend, Trump successfully nuked Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) from political life, relegating the incumbent to a shocking third place in his statewide primary. And this past Tuesday, Trump-endorsed candidates across the nation won every primary race -- 37 victories and zero defeats. Overall, Trump's approval rating among members of his own party sits around 81% -- down from last year but higher than comparable second-term approval metrics for either Barack Obama or George W. Bush.]]>
