Summary

  • The cancellation comes as Trump and some GOP senators clash over which priorities should lead the party’s agenda heading into the midterm elections.
  • That split raises the risk that internal Republican tensions could complicate the broader GOP legislative push, even on measures that had drawn bipartisan support.
