The Republican Party continues to support the Big Lie — the baseless claim that former President Donald Trump won re-election in 2020. Loyalty to this idea and the former president has taken the place of a unifying party platform.

Host Celeste Headlee talks about what this means for the party and politics with Julian Zelizer, professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University.
