Loyalty is one of the defining characteristics of President Donald Trump.
CNN data guru Harry Enten recently noted that loyalty runs both ways, saying Republicans support Trump in a deeply devoted manner unmatched by any recent president who served two terms.
Enten said that loyalty explains Trump’s influence in Republican primaries.
On Tuesday, for example, Trumpnotedthat 122 candidates he backed during Republican primaries in three states won their elections.

“Because Republicans love Donald Trump more than any president’s own party’s supporters loved him at this particular point,” Enten said in a videopostedto X.
“Twenty-first century presidents’ own-party approval about at this point in a second term: Bush was at 77 percent. Obama was at 77 percent,” he said, referring to former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
“Look at this, 86 percent of Republicans approve of the job that Donald Trump is doing at this point. That is higher than either Obama or Bush had within their own party at this point,” he said.
“Trump’s magic touch has not seemed to wore off yet when it comes to the Republican base.”
