A survey conducted in late July 2025 revealed that 47% of Republican voters would not change their vote for Donald Trump even if he were officially implicated in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex crimes. The survey, conducted by Leger in partnership with 338Canada and Maintenant Media, polled approximately a thousand American voters, asking if such an implication would affect their vote. The results indicated that a significant portion of Republican voters would remain steadfast in their support, while 27% would be more likely to vote for another party.

The persistent belief in a “client list” detailing Jeffrey Epstein’s associates continues to fuel speculation, with a significant portion of Americans convinced it exists and is being hidden. This belief is mirrored by historical parallels with the Kennedy assassination, where government secrecy has fostered conspiracy theories.

Drawing from Kwame Anthony Appiah’s work on honor, the article argues that President Trump’s actions and those of his Republican Party represent a significant erosion of the honor code previously upheld in American public life. Trump’s disregard for ethical conduct, as evidenced by his attempts to manipulate congressional districts, reflects a shift towards prioritizing power and winning at all costs. This behavior, including Trump’s lack of shame and adherence to a code of entitlement, undermines the principles of fair play and mutual respect necessary for a functioning democracy. The article suggests this decline in honor has consequences for both parties, fair elections, and democratic traditions.
