On the third anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, former president Donald Trump stood at a lectern in Iowa and applauded those who have been charged with participating in the riot and called on President Biden to release the rioters who are incarcerated, who Trump said were \u201chostages.\u201d

A recent poll conducted by The Washington Post and the University of Maryland found that over the past two years, Republican voters seemed to have softened their perspective on Jan. 6, and particularly whether Trump had any responsibility for the attack.
National political reporter Isaac Arnsdorf joins us today to explain how Republicans\u2019 feelings about Trump have shifted and the Trump campaign\u2019s strategy to secure a victory in the primaries.
