Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : "Congress went on to certify the election results, formalizing Biden's victory over Trump.
48% : The forthcoming biography of McConnell also reveals the Republican leader's thoughts on Trump.
25% : Democrats have also played on Cruz's loyalty to Trump and his actions on January 6 in their attacks against the Republican lawmaker.
17% : Cruz has been endorsed by the former president and has failed to say if he believes Trump lost the 2020 election.
5% : While McConnell and Trump have clashed in the past -- including over McConnell's refusal to block certification of the 2020 election -- the longtime Kentucky lawmaker has endorsed the former president ahead of November.
5% : But in previous years, particularly after the 2020 election, McConnell referred to Trump as "erratic," and told Tackett that he believes Trump's "MAGA movement is completely wrong.""I think Trump was the biggest factor in changing the Republican Party from what Ronald Reagan viewed and he wouldn't recognize today," McConnell said, according to Tackett's book.
