Republican Party Intensifies Trump's Political Style Post-Midterm Election Defeat

Washington DC. After President Donald Trump and his Republican Party suffered a major defeat in the US midterm elections, it was expected that the party would opt for self-reflection and policy reform. However, in response to the election results, the Republican Party has instead signaled a move to further intensify Trump's political style and radical policies.

After the Democratic Party secured a majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate in last week's elections, there should have been a debate within the Republican Party regarding leadership and strategy. But on Tuesday, Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives elected Ohio lawmaker Jim Jordan as the party's minority leader for the upcoming year. Earlier, Trump had appointed Stephen Miller, a staunch supporter of the 'America First' policy, as White House Chief of Staff.
