‘RINO (Republican in name only).’
This is the label given by US President Donald Trump on New Year’s Day 1 (local time) when he attacked the second Republican Senate Prime Minister John Thun. Tune in South Dakota, who was active in South Dakota, was in favor of 93.6 percent of the bill that President Trump promoted during his tenure, and he is a bone marrow Republican with a score of 85 on the US conservative index. But President Trump was threatened by saying that he would run for South Dakota governor Christy Noham for his place because he was not loyal to him.
Earlier, President Trump included Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, one of the loyalists, on the eviction list for refusing to overturn the election results. The US CNN broadcast on the 2nd said, “Trump’s standards are clear.” “If you don’t support an attempt to overturn the election results, you are not a real Republican, so I will find someone more loyal to me and replace you. did.
President Trump’s blatant “republican line” is reaching its peak. It is the final number of matches ahead of approval of the results of the elections vote by the US Senate-House Joint Assembly on the 6th. Under pressure to exert influence in the 2022 midterm election party primary, he instructed lawmakers to overturn the results of the presidential election. Even if the actual reversal is not successful, the intention to seize the party for the next presidential election in 2024 is read.
First of all, President Trump’s pressure is working. Eleven Republican senators, including Congressman Ted Cruz, announced today that they would oppose the outcome of winning Joe Biden’s victory. CNN analyzed earlier that at least 140 Republicans in the House of Representatives are expected to raise their hands on the negative side as a result of the vote. President Trump also encouraged supporters to mobilize protests against the election, saying, “a massive protest will be held in Washington at 11 am on the 6th.”

However, it is difficult to actually reverse the results. This is because the members of the Senate (100 seats in total) and the House of Representatives (435 seats) who agree with President Trump’s claims are far less than the majority. Republican Senate Representative Mitch McConnell also opposed raising an objection at the joint meeting, and Vice President Mike Pence, who will preside over the meeting, also said that he would not refuse to approve the results.
On the 1st, President McConnell and the Democratic Party have already passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which contains restrictions on the reduction of US forces in Korea. It was the first vote that neutralized President Trump’s veto. In addition, it is an overwhelming difference between 81 and 13, so the results of the presidential election are likely to be approved as scheduled.
However, as President Trump shows off his grip on the Republican Party, the concerns of lawmakers are likely to deepen. US political media The Hill said, “It will create a politically difficult situation for active Republicans preparing for the 2022 election. If you vote against approval, you will agree with the allegations of election denial. “It gives me the power to be able to do it because I have to choose between the two.”
