Trump keeps turning Republican wins into loyalty tests — and political liabilities
Source: cnbc ·
President Donald Trump's recent actions have turned several potential Republican wins into political liabilities, complicating the party's efforts to demonstrate its governing capabilities. Trump's last-minute decisions, such as delaying a key foreign surveillance program and scrapping a bipartisan housing bill, have sparked frustration among Republicans and led to a breakdown in congressional operations. The Senate has started its July 4 recess early, while the House is paralyzed due to hardliners' refusal to vote on GOP priorities until a contentious election bill is passed.
