The GOP is still the par­ty of Trump, and no mat­ter how Re­pub­li­cans spin it, Trump is hold­ing it hostage.

Days be­fore his sec­ond im­peach­ment tri­al, Trump’s in­flu­ence over the Re­pub­li­can Par­ty re­mains as en­trenched as ever.

There are op­tions for le­gal re­course against Trump, but the GOP will block them.

Trump’s goal is not to over­turn the elec­tion – it is to un­der­mine the Biden ad­min­is­tra­tion.

Don­ald Trump and his sup­port­ers are a huge po­lit­i­cal force in the US and they have de­fied ex­pec­ta­tions in this elec­tion.

But it is 2020, and any­thing can still hap­pen.

But they do have con­se­quences.

And ‘Mr Vice Pres­i­dent, I’m speak­ing’ will have res­onat­ed with women every­where.

His de­bate per­for­mance and re­sponse to Trump’s COVID-19 di­ag­no­sis has been the calm amid a chaot­ic elec­tion cy­cle.

The US pres­i­dent is find­ing a way to turn the coro­n­avirus into some­thing that will ral­ly his base.
