In the United States, 59 percent of Republican voters declared their readiness to support former US President Donald Trump if he is nominated for the next election. This is evidenced by the results of a survey of the USA Today newspaper and Suffolk University.
Another 46 percent said they intend to follow Trump if he creates a new party. “The poll shows that support for Trump is largely unwavering after the second impeachment trial,” the newspaper notes.
In addition, 27 percent of the respondents noted that they do not intend to change their party affiliation. At the same time, half of the participants are convinced that the Republican Party should be more loyal to the former president.
At the end of January, it was reported that former US President Donald Trump was planning to create his own party, which could be called Patriotic. He allegedly discussed this with his assistants and other confidants in the last days of his tenure as head of state.
It was later reported that more than a hundred former Republicans are in talks to create a new center-right party that will oppose Trump. The negotiators conceived of breaking away from the Republican Party because of its unwillingness to oppose the former American leader and “his attempts to undermine democracy.”
