Trump Faces GOP Divisions Over Legislative Strategy

President-elect Donald Trump is advocating for a comprehensive legislative package that includes tax cuts, immigration reform, and border security, but faces significant division within the GOP. House Republicans favor a single large bill to advance Trump's agenda, while Senate leaders prefer to tackle border security first before addressing tax policy. Critics within and outside the party warn that Trump's confrontational style and internal party conflicts could hinder his effectiveness and lead to a political reckoning. As Trump prepares to take office for a second term, the dynamics between the House and Senate Republicans could complicate the GOP's efforts to unify around a cohesive strategy. Tensions are evident, as leaders from both chambers express conflicting views on the legislative approach, with some House members criticizing Senate leaders for their cautious stance. Observers are closely watching the special elections in Virginia for indications of voter sentiment as Trump’s administration approaches.
