Summary/Abstract: The principles of bipartism, political ideology and political leadership reflect in the wholeness of political parties in the United States. The aim of the paper is to analyse the scale of interconnection and interrelationship between political leaders and the polarization of the Republican Party and its electoral successes or failures. The results of the research confirmed the long-lasting trend of the division of the Republican Party and the absence of a unifying political leader capable of restoring the integrated position of the American right.
