Donald Trump loses sway over GOP as Republicans reject election‑denial push

Analysts note that former President Donald Trump has exhausted his political capital; he no longer commands his party or persuades the broader electorate. His recent prime‑time address, which repeated 2020 election‑denial claims and promoted the Save America Act, failed to galvanize conservatives and was largely ignored by major outlets such as Fox News.

Republican strategists say candidates are focusing on the economy and affordability rather than election claims, and some view Trump's legislative push as “weaponized against his own party.” The muted response highlights the limited impact of his rhetoric on the upcoming midterm elections.
