“As they’re looking at candidates, they’re trying to reshape the Republican Party away from what a lot would call a corporatist approach and more towards this America First approach,” said former Trump administration official Alexei Woltornist.
Despite losing his reelection battle in November, Trump continues to be seen as a leading figure within the party.
A Reuters-Ipsos survey conducted late last month showed 81 percent of Republicans expressing a favorable opinion of Trump, while 49 percent said they strongly disagreed with the view that the former president should not run for public office again.

A Black man incarcerated for more than 30 years for a crime he says he didn t commit has been released from prison nearly three years after his conviction was overturned. Crosley Green was convicted in 1990 of killing a 22-year-old Florida man though there was no physical evidence linking him to the crime.
On Tuesday, federal Judge Roy B. Dalton granted a motion from Green s attorneys asking for his immediate release, citing the coronavirus pandemic, health issues and the reversal of his conviction. Green s attorneys said he is at an increased risk for contracting COVID-19 because of his age, a recent exposure to tuberculosis for which he is undergoing treatment and his other health issues.

Citing the public’s strong interest in releasing a prisoner who remained incarcerated in violation of the Constitution, a federal judge on Wednesday ordered Crosley Green to be released from prison.
Federal Judge Roy B. Dalton of the Middle District Court of Florida granted a motion from Green’s attorneys requesting his immediate release due to health concerns, the pandemic and the fact that Green s murder conviction was overturned by Dalton himself on July 20, 2018.
When Green steps through the doors of Calhoun Correctional Facility, which could happen as soon as Wednesday night, it will be his first taste of freedom in 31 years and 10 months.
