Claiming that 100% of MAGA supporters back Trump is misleading and oversimplified. While Trump's support among MAGA has grown to 30%, this statistic masks a larger issue: the need to connect with the remaining 70% of voters for future electoral success. If Republicans ignore this broader electorate, they risk losing future elections.
