Congressional Republicans Struggle to Unite on Trump's Ambitious Agenda

Disagreements within GOP over strategy and budget complicate efforts to advance sweeping legislative priorities on taxes, immigration, and defense.

Republicans in the House and Senate are divided on how to pass President Trump's legislative agenda, including tax cuts, border security, and energy reforms.
House Republicans face challenges due to their slim majority, with internal disagreements on spending cuts and budget frameworks delaying progress.
Senate Budget Chair Lindsey Graham has proposed a two-bill approach focusing on immigration, defense, and energy, contrasting with the House's preferred single comprehensive bill.
Trump's tax priorities include eliminating taxes on tips, overtime pay, and Social Security benefits, while extending and expanding earlier tax cuts from his first term.
The Senate is moving forward with its budget resolution next week, potentially pressuring the House to adopt the Senate's plan or risk further delays.
