Republican Party Faces Internal Legislative Struggles

As Republicans prepare for the next congressional session, they face a challenging landscape with a slim majority and internal disagreements on extending Trump tax cuts. A proposed strategy involves two reconciliation bills focusing on border security and military funding, offset by cuts to tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act. Meanwhile, in Bihar, the Congress-RJD alliance is experiencing strife over demands for deputy chief minister positions, highlighting tensions within the coalition. In Jharkhand, Congress's communication regarding ministerial appointments has raised questions about the authority of Chief Minister Hemant Soren, with oppositional claims suggesting his government is controlled from Delhi. Additionally, infighting within the Congress party in Medak has erupted into physical confrontations among factions, threatening the party's cohesion ahead of local elections. These incidents reflect broader issues of leadership and unity that could impact their political standing.
