I can only assume the entirety of the GOP given it's been part of the party platform since at least 2012: https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/2aebc568-f1d2-11e1-892d...

The GOP has been captured by corporate special interests and is also caught up in a mindless "repeal all the regulations" hysteria.

This is total speculation, but I'm guessing that the rank-and-file of that party might have a different opinion if they understood and considered the specific issue in isolation.
