Trump just needs to tweet that Durham is a RINO and an angry democrat and dumb as a rock and a dog and whatever, and most Republicans will fall in line. It does not matter a single bit if there's any consistency of logic behind it. This is an autocratically led party, and so to a large portion of the party, the only single thing that matters is what Trump says. And this will not change, or it already would have.
Romney, on the other hand, won't have a problem with the idea.
Honestly, though, that's fine. Durham was appointed to look at the DoJ in the Obama administration and all these Republicans are on record saying he should be allowed to continue his work. If they turn around and denounce him then it's a win-win for Biden at that point.
