All of the Republican House members who voted to object during the electoral college count in Congress with the exception of Carlos Gimenez, Stephanie Bice, and Tom Rice. Mayra Flores would likely join Donald Trumps political party as well considering that she is a big MAGA supporter and a clero-fascism advocate.

All of the 8 Republican Senators who voted to object plus the ones who were originally going to object but changed their minds at the last minute (Ron Johnson, Mike Braun, Mike Lee, Steve Daines, Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Chuck Grassley, James Langford, John Barrasso, Roger Wicker, Marsha Blackburn, and Bill Haggerty).

I've thought many times about the possibility of Trump forming his own party, but ultimately why would he bother when he has the GOP wrapped around his little finger?

IIRC even Trump criticized this idea because it would split the GOP vote and benefit democrats.

This would be a stupid decision that's further reinforced because Dems won by a D+3 margin in a D+3 district that looks to be entering a neutral year. The mindset of Pro-Trump Reps threatening to boycott future elections over "rigging" cost us control of the senate as well as 2 senate seats and could threaten future control for the foreseeable future. It's bad enough as it is but following through with this would cement Trump as the best Dem asset since FDR.

Maybe the Matt Gaetz, Boeberts and MTGs of the world. There's not really much reason for Trump to do so though. He already has a pretty firm grip on the party and the neocon/neolib wing's influence on policy and messaging continues to decline as time passes.

The entire House Freedom Caucus and a few MAGA Senators (i.e. Cruz, Scott and Blackburn)

Only the ones that believe the new party would win more votes than the Republican Party, and I think there would be very few of them.  If the choice is allegiance to one old man, or allegiance to a long-lasting ideology, I would think the choice would be very clear.
