The House select committee has shown, in great detail, how the former President incited the riot at the Capitol. How much damage have the hearings done to Donald Trump’s political prospects?
If he does enter the 2024 G.O.P. primary, much will depend on the ability of his opponents to make the argument that it’s time for the Party to move on.
By demonstrating so clearly and comprehensively Trump’s culpability before, on, and after January 6, 2021, the House select committee has strengthened the hands of his potential G.O.P. rivals, and this could conceivably be its biggest legacy. But, even after all the committee’s sterling work, a Republican effort to take down Trump would attract a barrage of counterattacks from him and his supporters, and it would take courage and fortitude to withstand the onslaught.
, Adam Kinzinger, Mitt Romney, and a few others, these attributes are still in extremely short supply in G.O.P. circles. That’s another thing in Trump’s favor. ♦
