自从共和党被川普党绑架，尤其是他儿媳控制RNC后，部分共和党议员就辞职了。川普的儿媳上任后就宣布， RBC的首要目标就是帮助川普。本来共和党目前募捐的钱就少，民主党比它多出一倍。他儿媳宣布共和党募的钱，第一是帮川普竞选总统，第二支付川普的律师费，剩下的才归党，帮助其他候选人（如竞选议员连任等），这势必影响其他的候选人。
这一任共和党议会，一年多了，除了罢免自己的议长，弹劾拜登，没完没了的听证会调查司法部，调查FBI， 没有通过任何有意义的法案。陷入内斗，dysfuction. 上一任议会，还通过了基建法案，芯片法案，控枪法案等等。
共和党前议长Paul Ryan预测，今年选举，共和党将失去更多席位，因为很多郊区的摇摆选民就是不喜欢川普，从而不投共和党的票。 还称当前的共和党是基于与川普相关的个人崇拜，而不是基于一套原则。
“I think we’re going to lose more seats than we otherwise would with Trump because there are just too many suburban swing voters that just don’t like him, that therefore vote against Republicans,” Ryan said in an interview with Southern Methodist University’s student-run Daily Campus on Tuesday.
Ryan said he didn’t subscribe to the nationalist populism of Trump, which is where “the bulk” of Republicans are right now, and also called the current GOP a cult of personality tied to Trump rather than based on a set of principles.
