Republican Infighting Escalates Over Legislative Deadlock

Rep. Byron Donalds clashes with Speaker Mike Johnson as GOP tensions rise over stalled efforts to pass Trump's agenda.

Rep. Byron Donalds criticized Speaker Mike Johnson for what he described as legislative 'paralysis,' accusing GOP leadership of stalling progress on key issues.
Donalds, a prominent Trump ally, is pushing for a single comprehensive bill to address border security, energy, and tax cuts, aligning with Trump's preferences.
Speaker Johnson and Senate leaders are debating whether to pass one large bill or split the agenda into smaller, separate bills to improve chances of passage.
Anonymous GOP lawmakers have expressed frustration with Donalds' confrontational tone, calling it 'obnoxious' and counterproductive to party unity.
Sen. Lindsey Graham has proposed a $300 billion budget resolution focused on defense and border security as part of ongoing legislative negotiations.
