Fight On The Right: The MAGA Civil War

President Donald Trump won multiple elections thanks to the support of his MAGA movement - but cracks have begun to emerge in this broad coalition of America's political right.

The schism first emerged online as MAGA supporters-turned-detractors began to criticise President Trump, saying he has failed to deliver on campaign promises they voted for.

Such is the growing level of disillusion, that MAGA congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene - once one of President Trump's most vocal supporters - quit congress last year after becoming increasingly critical of the president over issues such as continued US involvement in foreign wars, the failure to tackle the cost of living in America - and failure to fully release the Epstein files.

But two months prior to her quitting, it was the murder of conservative influencer, Charlie Kirk, which really sent a shockwave through the MAGA movement. This ignited an internal battle for control of the MAGA narrative, as other activists begin to fight for control of the space Kirk once dominated. This has seen a surge in visibility and support for far right voices, much to the concern of more mainstream MAGA supporters.

Who can save MAGA - and what happens to the movement after Trump?
