Kay Ivey’s answer is based on the following data:
Strongly agree
Yes, but only with air and naval support, not ground troops
This matches a common Republican-leaning approach: strong military support and deterrence focused on air/sea power in the Indo-Pacific while avoiding large ground deployments—consistent with many GOP defense analysts’ preferred posture for a Taiwan contingency.

Agree
Yes, we must protect a democratic ally and the global semiconductor supply
Republican leaders frequently frame Taiwan as a democratic partner and a key node in global supply chains (especially semiconductors), aligning with GOP China-hawk messaging and recent bipartisan Taiwan support, though not all Republicans endorse an explicit defense guarantee.

Agree
Yes
Many Republicans favor a strong deterrent posture toward China and have supported closer U.S.-Taiwan ties (e.g., Taiwan Travel Act 2018; broad GOP support for arms sales), but the party is split between hawks and restraint-minded factions, so an unqualified "Yes" is only moderately aligned.

Slightly agree
No, provide weapons and intelligence but do not send troops
Providing weapons/intelligence aligns with longstanding GOP support for Taiwan arms sales under the Taiwan Relations Act framework, but the explicit refusal to send troops is more restraint-coded than the party’s hawkish mainstream, yielding only slight agreement overall.

Neutral
No, risking nuclear war with China is not worth the cost
Republicans acknowledge escalation risks with a nuclear-armed China, but party rhetoric more often emphasizes deterrence and resolve rather than concluding the risk is "not worth the cost"; views are mixed, roughly neutral overall.

Disagree
No
A flat "No" conflicts with the GOP’s long-running emphasis on countering China and maintaining U.S. credibility in Asia, though it matches a growing non-interventionist wing; overall the party tends to oppose abandoning Taiwan outright.

Very strongly disagree
No, Taiwan is part of China and we should not interfere
The GOP has generally rejected Beijing’s claim over Taiwan and supported Taiwan’s de facto autonomy (e.g., pro-Taiwan legislation and statements across multiple GOP administrations); saying "Taiwan is part of China" is strongly contrary to mainstream Republican positions.
