Will Republicans in Congress finally stand up to Trump? | Republicans

Democratic Chuck Schumer returned to the Senate floor last week with some urgent questions. “Will the Senate Republicans continue to Kowtow to a leader they know that they are dragging the country?” requested. “Do they know that you’re a pathological liar? Or will they stand against it as the founding fathers aim? Will they help us shift America to authoritarianism?”

He was aware that Donald Trump had spent eight months to expand his presidential power at the expense of congress and others. In four years, he signed more than 200 executives than Joe Biden. National Guard Units in WashingtonHe turned researchers into political enemies and tried to bring academic, cultural, financial and legal institutions to heels.

Capitulation moved faster and further than most of Trump’s critics, and left them to look for democratic railings that could still restrict them. However, as the congress members returned to Washington this week, there were tremors only in the hope that they could pay attention to Schumer and rebuild their usurped authorities.

The Republican Party of Trump remains loyal to both the House of Representatives and in the Senate with narrow majority and overwhelming. In May, during a discussion about the signature tax and expenditure invoice, Mike Johnson, Speaker of the Assembly, He called him “The US’s modern age is undoubtedly the most powerful, most successful and most respected President”. The congress was actually his tire stamp.

Larry JacobsThe Director of Minnesota University Political and Governance Research Center said: “Something we can be sure for a year and a half years, the Republican majority will not control Donald Trump.

“Fear of Donald Trump in the midterm elections, and in some cases – in some cases – large amounts of campaign funds used to threaten physical threats – in some cases, domesticated republicans at the congress. I don’t hope to control Donald Trump.”

However, in recent days, small fractures appeared in the structure. Congress Member Thomas Massie won the support of Republicans Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert and Nancy Mace in a discharged petition to vote for release Jeffrey Epstein files. Hours after the Trump described the problem as “democratic scam”, Greene withdrew: “This is not a scam, because Jeffrey Epstein is a convicted pedophile.”

The patience of some Republicans is wearing weak on the cleaning movements of Trump’s health secretary Robert Kennedy JR and Vaccine Centers (CDC) in the Centers of Vaccine Centers (CDC). Senator John Barrasso, a doctor, told Kennedy that he was “deeply worried about his leadership in the vaccine.

In addition, a large number of Republican faced during the municipal buildings in their regions during the summer. Opinion Surveys show that Trump’s Big Beautiful Invoice Law – Working Families Recurrently Branding as Tax Details Law – Most popular Part of the great legislation in a generation. And Friday’s gloomy job reports reflected the uncertainty about the economic agenda.

If the tendency continues, the Swing State Republicans may be attractive to remove themselves in the next year’s mid -elections, and then treat him as a lame duck when the 2028 race warms up.

Thom HartmannA political analyst and the upcoming The Last American President: A broken man, a corrupt party and a world author of a world, shows that Trump’s swing on the congress can be more fragile than it seems.

“The simple truth is that the five or three or four or four Republican Trump in the Five or six Republican and Senate in the Assembly can stop Trump on his way,” he said. “They can put an end to this madness.

“The public is increasingly increasingly voting for the federal agencies from the economy to the troops on the streets in almost every aspect of the presidency – in almost every aspect of the presidency – some of these Republicans will look around and know, perhaps they will not challenge this man to ensure my political survival.

Difficulty for democrats is different. They are stuck in the minority with a small number of arms to be drawn. Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, the minority leader in the House of Representatives, will face pressure from their base to show the spirit of war. Both New York faced criticism for refusing to approve the progressive Zohran Mamdani, who won the democratic primary for the New York Mayor.

Schumer was also condemned to a wide range of democratic votes in March to prevent a government’s spending bill in March. As the Congress, as the barrels repeated at the end of the month, it seems low to cave for the second time.

Reed GalenThe President of the Union, a pro -democracy coalition, said: “We have already descended into an authoritarian hell, or we are on the edge of it, then how bad the government could be to close? Republicans.

“Schumer has a lot of people watching it, if it gives it without a significant privilege before 30, then it will be a very ugly decline and winter for the party.

On the contrary, the energy in the party is with the state governors such as JB Pritzker of Illinois, who presented the struggle of the activists against Gavin Newsom and Trump administration from California and the Trump administration. Both have additional incentives for potential runs for the President in 2028.

Hartmann said: “The Democrats are desperate for someone who could take back the mantos of Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson.. “

The Congress is struggling to keep it on its own as Trump Steamrolls, Trump Steamrolls, as not seen in the presidency of Peasime. For example, the social media practice issued an executive order that effectively ignored a two -party law approved by a Supreme Court decision to prohibit Tiktok.

He also jumped the congress to close the USAID and other agencies, and put the military forces in Los Angeles against peaceful protesters. Perhaps in the erosion of the separation of the most threatening powers, Trump used a rare administrative tool. Take back federal funds The congress had already approved.

Bill GalstonThe governance research at the Brookings Institute in Washington in Thinktank suggested that the courts have hoped to increase the authoritarianism, not congress, not a congress.

“The President made extraordinary executive claims that brought up constitutional questions and policy questions,” he said. “In these questions, in our system, only the Supreme Court may provide definite answers and will have no choice but to do so.

“Better, worse, the thickest reed to the democrats, because the minority status will not change between now and between November 2026, and the majority of the majority will not increase the willingness to meet the minority.”
