*crickets*

A Republican presidential candidate just called for the removal of legacy admissions last week.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) said now that the Supreme Court has limited the use of race as a factor in college admissions, colleges should eliminate legacy-based admissions next.

The great majority of people of all political stripes are against legacy admissions. It’s mainly college administrators (not a notably Republican/conservative bunch these days) and some alumni who defend them.
