The three distinct groups within the Republican Party revealed

Trump-first Republicans, who make up 29 percent of the GOP, support broad presidential authority, including bypassing Congress to achieve policy goals. A majority in this faction also supports allowing President Donald Trump to run for a third term.

Constitution-first Republicans, accounting for 34 percent, prioritize checks and balances, limited presidential power and a clear legislative role for Congress. Most voted for Trump, but oppose altering the Constitution to permit a third term.

The remaining 36 percent, labeled Party-first Republicans, are less engaged in political discussions and express uncertainty about the scope of presidential powers.
