GOP's Silent Support: Fueling Trump's White House Comeback

As former President Donald Trump faces federal charges for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, the Republican Party remains silent, fueling his bid for the White House in 2024. Republicans who once challenged Trump have been ousted or bullied, while those remaining focus on investigating President Joe Biden and revising the narrative of the attack. Scholars warn that this silence and lack of accountability is eroding democracy, as Trump's power goes unchecked. The indictment against Trump details his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, culminating in the deadly riot. Despite facing criminal charges, Trump continues to claim his right to free speech and challenge the election results.
