For sure some Trump-backed Republicans like Tommy Tuberville won, but in many cases not. Just ask Kari Lake how well her support for Trump worked out for her.
Trump is an anomaly to politics. And when he is gone from the scene (in fact sooner as he gets closer to lame-duck status) we will see a shift back to the way it was before him. I remember the Tea Party was the big thing not many years ago; we never hear about that now. Joe McCarthy was a big thing back when I was a tot; nobody took his place. Trumpism will end in 2028, you'll see.

The Tea Party transformed into the Trump base. Don't make the mistake of thinking Trump is leading this movement. He's reacting to it.
