Trump Voters Divided on Future of Republican Party

Matt Haines

   NEW ORLEANS - President Donald Trump's departure from the White House
   January 20 -- four years after he wrestled control of the Republican
   Party -- puts the party at a crossroads over its future leadership and
   direction, with the continued loyalty of tens of millions of ardent
   Trump supporters an open question.

   The assault on the U.S. Capitol January 6 put Republican divides in
   sharper relief, as rioters waved Trump flags while violently seeking
   out lawmakers and, notably, chanting "Hang Mike Pence" -- referring to
   a vice president who has been one of the most reliable conservatives in
   the Republican Party.
