Liam Kerr: “There has long been a debate over whether or not ‘Never Trump’ Republicans are a meaningful cohort. Election results keep suggesting that, at the electoral level, they are. Never Trumpers propelled the Democratic House victory in 2018 and Joe Biden’s victory in 2020, and they were also behind some of the Democrats who overperformed last week.”

2. They very well could be the difference in the Warnock-Walker run-off.p

Georgia doesn't do registration by party, but I suspect that republicans greatly outnumber Democrats. I think Biden, Ossoff, and Warnock won in 2020 with the help of independents and never-trumpers.

3. Given the number of tight elections this cycle...

the inference seems to be that - if the GOP voters ever regain their senses and the "Never Trumpers" return to the GOP, future elections will reflect a significant majority of Republicans in this country. I just don't understand it.

5. I am similarly perplexed, so many seem to vote GOP in direct opposition to their long term interests

I keep thinking it is one issue voters-- gun rights, abortion, taxes, immigration or whatever-- that despite all the rest that is bad for them from the GOP, they pull the R lever anyway.
