GOP Lawmakers Show Selective Resistance to Trump Agenda

While largely aligned with President Donald Trump, congressional Republicans have begun to push back on specific issues. This resistance highlights the limits of their support, even for a leader who dominates their party. The pushback emerges in discrete policy areas, not as a broad challenge to Trump's authority. Key disagreements involve national security priorities and congressional spending power. This creates a careful balancing act for GOP lawmakers. They must manage their loyalty to the President while asserting their own institutional and policy positions. The depth and durability of this resistance remain uncertain.
