• Raskin stated Putin is responsible for Navalny's death, and Trump is Putin's biggest ally in the U.S. and has fueled pro-Putin sentiment in the GOP.
• Trump has praised Putin for years, undermined U.S. allies, and led to growing GOP resistance to aiding Ukraine.
• Liz Cheney warned the 2024 election could allow the "Putin wing" of the Republican Party to take the White House.
• Trump declined to condemn Putin over Navalny's death and instead invoked his own legal issues, suggesting he is a victim of political persecution.
