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.
