Outgoing Senate Republicans Could Sway Trump Agenda in Final 7 Months
3 articles · Updated · NPR · Jun 5
Summary
NPR interviewed former RNC communications director Doug Heye on how Senate Republicans leaving office could shape President Donald Trump's legislative agenda in their remaining months.
Those departing senators may vote with fewer political constraints, making their final decisions more consequential for close Senate fights tied to Trump's priorities.
The discussion centers on whether lame-duck Republicans become more independent power brokers as Trump pushes his agenda through a narrowly divided chamber.
