Trump’s Executive Action Presidency Barrels Into a Legislative Blockade

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump delivered a 90-minute address to House Republicans urging support for his domestic policy bill in Washington, D.C.
  • The speech sought to bring together Republicans amid pressure from hard-right and Northeastern members who are pushing for modifications to the comprehensive legislation on tax reductions and spending cuts.
  • Lawmakers left the closed-door meeting divided on whether Trump convinced enough members to advance the bill to the Senate this week amid party infighting.
  • Trump insisted that negotiations should end and a vote should proceed, while Speaker Mike Johnson aims to pass the bill before Memorial Day despite ongoing resistance within the party.
  • The outcome remains uncertain as Trump faces the challenge of uniting a slim House majority with key holdouts, making this a crucial test of his legislative dealmaking skills.
