Republicans are now more likely to be supportive of those who attacked the US Capitol on 6 January 2021 and more likely not to blame former President Donald Trump for the events of that day than they were two years ago, a new poll has revealed.
The poll, conducted by The Washington Post and the University of Maryland, shows that the Republicans are increasingly loyal to Mr Trump as he campaigns for the presidential nomination once again even as his legal woes are mounting. Mr Trump is scrambling to win enough delegates to secure the nomination before any convictions may stir up trouble, including for attempting to remain in power after losing the 2020 election, which led to the events of January 6.
