There’s no denying President Donald Trump has reshaped the Republican Party. Under his leadership, the GOP turned away from decades of Ronald Reagan-style conservatism to a new gospel of populism and nationalism.
But that shift has split the party into two groups: those who are energized by the new direction and those who want to put the “Trumpism” genie back in the bottle.
Tuesday on MPR News with Kerri Miller, we took a look at the future of the GOP. What happens to the party if President Trump wins reelection? What happens if he doesn’t? Will the transformation he started outlast his presidency? Should it?
