Abstract
Republicans went into the 2022 election year expecting to capture both chambers of Con- gress . The eventual results turned out to be disappointing, however . The seizure of parlia- mentary power was hindered by their own cadre of candidates in particular . Inexperienced and often ideologically radical candidates lost several races that had seemed promising for the Republican camp just a few months earlier . Donald Trump’s role in the selection process can be cited as a key reason for this mediocre showing . Candidates loyal to Trump fared noticeably worse than other Republican contenders for elected offices . Even despite these disappointing results, today’s Republican Party has not turned away from the former presi- dent’s national-populist agenda . Even beyond the radical fringe, the outcome of the previ- ous presidential election is still called into question . Moreover, majorities of Republican voters support a variety of Trump’s sometimes anti-democratic positions . The Republican Party therefore continues to be on a path towards further radicalization .
