Statements by US President Joe Biden in which he talked about a “small revolution” and “severe tensions” within the Republican Party have opened the door to discussion about the party’s future, the status of former President Donald Trump and his influence within it.
Since its establishment by dissidents from the Democratic and Right-wing parties in 1854, as a result of their objection to the continuation of the then-existing system of slavery and slavery, and their desire to preserve the American Union in the face of secession calls, especially from the southern states, the Republican Party has become one of the most important and oldest parties in the world.

President Biden also said in statements he made last Wednesday, “I am a Democrat for a long time, and we have gone through stages of internal battles and differences, but I do not remember anything similar,” referring to what is happening inside the Republican Party.
“I don’t understand Republicans,” he added.

Assole Anouzis, a Michigan Republican leader
There is no civil war, but there is an adjustment to the reality of the Republican Party in the post-Trump era. Most of the party leaders still support the former president and his policies, even though they opposed and did not approve of his style or tone, and I think it is easy to confuse frustration with Trump’s personality and policies.
The Republican Party traditionally supports its candidates and resents those who criticize them, as they often inadvertently serve the Democratic Party.
And unlike the Democrats, where the progressive wing sits in the seat of party leadership and its policies, the Republicans are united on political issues and positions, and now the issue for Republicans is only about who will be the next leader.
Trump will still have a huge role if not dominant in the Republican Party. Trump brought the Republicans new voters – African Americans, Hispanics, and other minorities who joined the traditional Republican coalition. Trump voters are conservative and culturally populist voters who agree with America’s policies first and will be an important part of our coalition going forward.
President Trump does not control the party, but his influence matters today. As with every previous president, his influence will diminish over time and other leaders will emerge.
In many parts of the country, Trump’s support for some candidates could determine the fate of primaries within the party, and in other areas his support may not be of value. Either way, he has a strong constituency who still believes in him and follows his signals.
Trump’s influence and power will depend on his continued participation in the political process over time and how he continues to do so.
I would expect other Trump candidates to emerge who support his policies and may have an advantage over

Peter Hoff is a Republican commentator for Newsweek
President Joe Biden’s remarks about what is going on inside the Republican Party are irrelevant. The Republican Party ended the last elections as the majority party in most of the 50 states. The party today is in a good position to regain control of Congress in 2022, and that will happen once the Republicans and independents who vote for Biden and Harris in 2020 realize that they are not moderates. Biden and Harris have become a tool in the hands of the left of the party and its radicals, and depart from the traditions of the Democratic Party.
The president’s comments are “fragile,” intended to divert attention from the problems he is facing within his own party. He is killing union jobs because of the party’s environmental policies, and proposing ridiculous tax increases that would harm the recovery that came after containing the spread of the “Covid-19” virus, as well as raising taxes on stockholders and the rich, who are the biggest donors to his party. Shaky Democrat, rather than worrying about what is going on in the Republican Party.
Former President Trump is still the biggest name and biggest formula within the Republican Party, but the question is whether that can last. There is a lot of time between now and 2024, and there are likely to be other Republicans planning to run for the presidency. Florida Gov. Ron Deessanis, South Dakota Governor Christy Noem, and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are indicating their interest in the position.
Trump also wants to retain influence over the party, and likely wants anyone who wants to be president afterward to come to him for advice and support. He has proven that he can help various party organizations raise enormous sums with small sums from large numbers of small donors rather than relying on Wall Street and big funders.
Trump will always be helpful in this regard, and that gives him power and leverage. The more time passed, the less influence he would have on what Republicans do. The Republican Party remains quite a “Reaganism” party even after Trump – who has repeated in most areas what Reagan did – committed to limited government, strong national defense, traditional values, and strong economic growth. And the Democrats have always been the party to big government, higher taxes, and international compromise.

Tim Constantine is deputy editor in chief of The Washington Times and a leader in the Republican Party
“There is a minor crisis among the Republicans related to Representative (Liz Cheney), but this crisis is nothing but a whirlwind in a cup due to the nature of the deputy and the selfish nature of the representative who desires more power and influence by all means.”
Constantine accused Cheney that she “does not know how to be a member of a team, because she does not believe in team work, and without her family name she would not have climbed strongly in the Republican Party ladder to become the third-place holder among the Republican Party members in the House of Representatives.”
He said that Cheney did not take advantage of the opportunities available to her, and failed to acquire leadership skills, the most important of which was the warmth in her dealings with her colleagues in Congress.
In his interview with Al Jazeera Net, Konstantin indicated that “the leadership of the public does not refer to a member or member by name unless they are sure that he is on his way out, and this may be the reality with Cheney, which I expect her to avoid running for new elections upon the termination of this stage of her membership in Parliament”.
Regarding Trump, Constantine explained that “Trump’s influence will decline with the passage of time, and he has already decreased due to the suspension of his accounts on the Twitter and Facebook platforms, and with the passage of time the rate of interest in him will decrease.”
Constantine stressed that the Republicans are united on the goal of controlling the House of Representatives in next year’s elections, which is “an easy task if the party focuses on it, away from the claims of the Democrats that there is a Republican civil war.”
