The Republicans who buoyed him to the Oval Office

The Guardian.
I'm not quite sure whether I understand the NP the Republicans who buoyed him to the Oval Office in 2016.
My question is:
Does the relative clause in the NP define all Republicans (all members of the GOP) or only and only those of them who voted Trump into the White House?
