      But losing the MAGA vote means losing the election to a Democrat.

      Like seriously, if a Republican reaches across the aisle, do you really think that would impress Democrats and increase the congressperson's vote count? Lets say someone won their district like 55%. Losing 10% of the MAGA Republican vote is more deadly than the… I dunno… 3% at best that you'd gain from independents who are happy you're not an asshole. And the Democrats weren't voting for you anyway so its all irrelevant.
