“There is a recognition that he has created a very unforgiving political climate in Republican politics that requires them to stick closely to him, but I think with this latest scandal — with this betrayal of his office, this gross abuse of power that involves our national security — you should see some cracks emerging in that cult of Trumpism.”

Trump has defended his call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as appropriate. Many Republicans have echoed Trump's comments, calling the attack politically motivated and trying to shift the attention to unfounded allegations against Biden.
