As the 2024 election approaches, Republicans are rallying behind former President Donald Trump with renewed vigor. Despite the controversies and legal battles that have surrounded him, Trump continues to enjoy massive support. His ability to mobilize the conservative base has cemented his position as the party’s leading candidate.
And since he survived an assassination attempt, voters view him as even more of a hero for their cause.
Republicans support Trump because of a combination of loyalty and strategic considerations.
