History

Historical Context

The MAGA movement, initiated by Donald Trump in 2016, marked a significant shift in the Republican Party towards right-wing populism, influenced by figures like Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene. This evolution reflects historical trends of increasing factionalism within the GOP, particularly since the rise of the Tea Party in 2009, which could reshape voter alignment in the 2026 midterms.
