Some analysts suggested that Monday’s FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida has upended the 2024 presidential race and possibly the midterms.

Republican leaders, such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), rushed to defend Trump and demanded congressional investigations into the FBI. Before the raid, McConnell and some other GOP lawmakers had become increasingly critical of the former president in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol incident.
