As tensions rise within the Republican party, hardliners have threatened to impede Trump’s agenda just ahead of his anticipated visit to Capitol Hill. The fate of key legislation is precariously balanced among the House GOP’s ‘five families’, which represent conflicting factions that are jeopardizing significant bills. A growing revolt among conservative lawmakers has already led to major setbacks, including the blocking of Trump’s proposed tax-cut bill. This internal conflict highlights deep rifts over issues including government spending and national debt. Some Republicans have begun to openly challenge Trump, risking their political careers in the process, while moderates and extremists unite in defiance. Amidst these challenges, repercussions for dissenters are a looming concern, as GOP lawmakers are warned that angering the former president may put their futures at stake.
