Trump continues to deny the legitimacy of the 2020 election results and has even suggested pardoning convicted rioters. This shift in support among GOP leaders underscores the deep political divisions and challenges facing American democracy, with Trump facing numerous criminal charges yet still leading the Republican field for the next presidential election.
