To answer your question, “Will today’s gesture be enough to make swing voters forget the party’s wholehearted embrace of the former president?” I would point to the fact that he chose to have his first Oval Office visit with Republican leaders, which revealed a lot about where President Biden’s priorities lie.

That’s who Trump wanted to work with. In hindsight, we could surmise that visit definitely went a long way in getting his base to embrace Russian disinformation. Whether it was “enough for swing voters”, I don’t know, but it was significant for Biden’s base and in sharp contrast to the treason we witnessed four years ago.
