"The jubilant tone was a sharp contrast from last week, when different wings of MAGA were deeply at odds. Debates over U.S. support for Israel sparked accusations of antisemitism and what kind of rhetoric was acceptable in a movement that itself feels marginalized by liberals. The fight escalated to some of MAGA media's biggest stars, including Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes. Demoralizing defeats didn't help, with Republicans losing in marquee gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia, along with plenty of other races nationwide."
"Yes, but: MAGA's spats didn't completely disappear. Some hardliners like Laura Loomer were still going after Carlson for his podcast interview with Fuentes, and Trump himself said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a typically loyal ally, had "lost her way" after criticizing his handling of healthcare and the Epstein files. But by Monday and Tuesday, those were secondary stories as the spotlight focused on Democratic bickering - as well as Veterans Day and the 250th birthday for the U.S. Marine Corps."
Trump's pardons and a shutdown victory generated celebratory reactions among MAGA media and activists, providing a morale boost after recent Republican election losses. Debates over U.S. support for Israel and allowable rhetoric had recently divided MAGA, involving figures such as Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes and Ben Shapiro. Election defeats in New Jersey, Virginia and other contests compounded frustration. Some hardliners continued criticizing allies — Laura Loomer attacked Carlson, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene faced rebuke from Trump — but those disputes receded as attention shifted to Democratic infighting and national observances. MAGA supporters are now pressing for further indictments against opponents and pardons for allies.
