Trump’s one-bill pronouncement settles nothing: ‘We still need a plan’
Politics,US Senate,Senate Republicans,Donald Trump,legislation
If Donald Trump thought he was settling the GOP’s most important strategy dispute, Senate Republicans are not getting the message.
Less than 24 hours after Trump endorsed “one powerful bill” to carry his domestic policy agenda, a dozen senators said in interviews that the legislative path to its enactment remains an open question. It underscores the mounting confusion as Republicans feel pressure to show quick progress on border, energy and tax priorities.
The senators do agree on this: They’re ready to follow Trump’s lead. But they’re not convinced he is firmly planted yet in the one-bill camp.
