On January 21, 2025, President Trump pardoned over 1,500 individuals, including violent offenders from the January 6 Capitol riot. The move received mixed reactions from Senate Republicans, with some, like Senators Tommy Tuberville and Ron Johnson, supporting the pardons, while others, including Senators Thom Tillis and Susan Collins, expressed opposition. Critics argue the pardons undermine the justice system, especially for those who assaulted police officers. Amidst ongoing debates, many Republicans prefer to focus on future policies rather than confronting the implications of Trump's actions, reflecting broader party dynamics.
