Former President Trump's standing among Republicans has slightly improved since leaving office, with about half of GOP respondents indicating in a new poll they'd like to see him play a significant role in the party's future.
Fifty percent of Republican voters polled in the new Morning Consult survey said Trump should play a “major role” in the party, an increase of 9 percentage points since his supporters rioted at the U.S. Capitol after he addressed them and repeated unproven claims of election fraud.
Women drove the uptick with a 15-point surge among likely GOP female voters who say they wish to see Trump as a key player in the party's future.
Wednesday's survey also found 81 percent of Republicans have positive views of Trump, with more than half saying they hold strong feelings on the issue. On the night before his second impeachment by the U.S. House over his role in the rioting, 76 percent of Republicans said they viewed him favorably.
Three in 10 Republicans also said in the new poll that they would prefer to join a "Patriot Party" if it were led by Trump, with 25 percent saying they would be undecided in such a scenario.
Trump has not made any definitive statements about his political future since leaving office last week, saying "we'll be back in some form" during his final remarks as president.
House impeachment managers delivered an article of impeachment for "inciting insurrection" to the Senate earlier this week, and senators were sworn in as jurors on Tuesday for an upcoming trial.
On Tuesday afternoon, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) introduced a point of order on the Senate floor declaring the impeachment of a former president is unconstitutional and therefore the Senate should not hear the case against Trump.

The Big Steal was bipartisan.
Someone please let Ronna know this.
Her latest nonsense...
RNC Will Not Back Trump in Primary if He Runs Again, Will Stay Neutral
The Republican National Committee (RNC) will not back former President Trump if he chooses to run for office again in 2024 and will instead remain neutral, RNC chair Ronna McDaniel indicated in a Wednesday interview with the Associated Press.
“The party has to stay neutral. I’m not telling anybody to run or not to run in 2024,” McDaniel said, walking the fine line as polls continue to indicate that a sizeable portion of the GOP base continues to back and support the former president.
“That’s going to be up to those candidates going forward. What I really do want to see him do, though, is help us win back majorities in 2022,” she told the outlet.

Definitely.
Trump will go down as the last legitimately elected POTUS
Never fell in this house😉
Big Steal was bipartisan
It sure was.
Was thinking that this AM while looking through Trump White House photo book.
I am glad he was/is such a beloved one.
Ad we’re still supposed to believe polls. HA!
Trump won hands down.
My message to Ronna Romney McDaniel....
You were a mistake in your first run as a leader of the RNC and for them to put you back is just a joke and another mistake..You have no idea how we AMERICANS feel, SO FEEL THE PAIN, Girl...because the RNC, RNCC, AND GOP ARE DEAD WITH THIS FAMILY.
let's roll voters and ROAR LIKE LIONS...WE NEED A NEW REPUBLICAN, CONSERVATIVE POLITICAL PARTY...and I'm ready for one...
This is from the hill, and the numbers are complete BS! Trump is far more popular with all Americans. He got more votes then any sitting president in history. And in a larger number then reveled. biden sat in his basement and couldn’t draw 50 people to a rally, but got 80M votes? I don’t believe that for a minute.
Trumps standing is going to shoot through the roof with everybody in the entire country in the coming months when they start waking up to the nightmare that is Joe Biden.
I didn’t think Biden and his puppeteers were this stupid but my God it appears they certainly are. People are going through hell financially because of the Covid terror attack and Biden is focusing on trannys in the military and in womens sports. YEs that certainly is a priority for your first week in office Joe!
And not only that, destroying US energy independence and opening the border! Good going Joe! Just what we need during high unemployment during a pandemic. What’s next, banning orange M&Ms? Let’s go for it!

maybe his mean tweets werent so bad compared to traitor biden
Exactly. The Fascist DemocRats really are this stupid. Unfortunately real people will face real suffering and my prayers to those who voted for PDJT. For the rest, elections have consequences.
Biden and Harris may antagonize so much of the population with their stupid and anti-American policies that even the media, Dominion voting machines and the CCP won't be able to win the 2024 election.
That may be wishful thinking but if Trump hasn't given up maybe we should not give up on the Republic yet either.
I haven’t given up on Pres Trump, or the Republic.
Republicans, yes.
I will NEVER give up on Trump, republicans and the party are DEAD TO ME!! If these asshats want Trumps base they can change parties the RINOS will NEVER change parties HOWEVER the Jim Jordan’s, Rand Paul’s, Matt Geatz types will jump in a heartbeat!! I hope these bastard RINOS enjoy the SUCK of course it never affects them!!! After ONE year of Biden people are going to be BEGGING for Trump, AND they will also realize that the MEDIA created the divide in this country and Trump had nothing to do with the division!! All the country will hear for the next 4 years is racism, racism, racism, just like with Obama WHO GAVE US TRUMP!!!
Biden is Zero...the revenge of the drag Q
