Republicans blame everyone but Trump for midterm drubbing

Republicans gathered at the Heritage Foundation are taking a cautious approach to analyzing their midterm election losses, notably avoiding direct blame on former President Trump. Instead, they're pointing fingers at external factors, poor campaign strategies, and local issues. This dynamic underscores the ongoing tensions within the party as it navigates the fallout from the elections. By sidestepping Trump, the party hopes to maintain unity and focus on rebuilding for future elections, though it risks alienating supporters who might see this as a lack of accountability.
