A growing divide is emerging within the Republican base as some voters signal their willingness to shift focus away from President Trump’s disputed election claims, even as many GOP candidates continue to endorse them.

With elections looming, the question of whether the party will fully embrace or distance itself from these claims could reshape its political strategy.
