This IS to be expected no matter how strong the media headlines make the Republican President…
After all?
He isn’t running for the job Again…
Republicans in Congress ARE 10 months out from Election Day 2026….
(Republicans ARE also beginning to take loses on state and local elections they shouldn’t be)
And?
Some GOPer’s have had enough and are quitting the place….
Republican lawmakers CAN read headlines and polls…
And being home?
Can feel the worries the Americans have against their felon President, who IS trying to ‘do his own thing’…
Aaron Blake: “The signs have been growing for a while now that Republicans are starting to grow a little more comfortable casting votes against Trump, most notably at the state level last month in Indiana. And this week such votes in Congress came fast.”
“Most or all of the votes are likely to be symbolic and don’t appear to have adjusted the president’s course – at least yet. And there remains plenty of evidence that fear of Trump is still an animating principle in the GOP.”
“But the rebukes were symbolic on some pretty significant issues. And they provide growing evidence that Trump, whose power relies on the domination of his party, is losing his iron grip on it.”
…
“On Thursday, neither party really had the majority in the House,” the Washington Postreports.
“Over the course of seven roll-call votes, five times the final tally showed that the exact same number of Republicans and Democrats had voted. The actual tallies of yeas and nays varied between noncontroversial legislation passed by wide margins to a narrow victory for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), helped by a bloc of renegade Republicans.”
“But each side repeatedly had the same number of members casting votes, with 213 lawmakers on both sides of the aisle and a handful of Republicans missing.”
“That highly unusual outcome illustrates the incredible tightrope that the titular majority party — the GOP — walks every day the House comes into session.”
