GOP Faces Internal Divisions as New Congress Tackles Key Issues

TL;DR Summary
Internal divisions within the GOP are emerging as they navigate Donald Trump's first 100-day agenda, with disagreements over prioritizing border security and energy production versus tax reform. The party faces challenges due to a narrow congressional majority and looming deadlines like a potential government shutdown. While some Republicans advocate for a comprehensive bill encompassing all of Trump's priorities, others warn this could lead to failure. The GOP is considering using the reconciliation process to pass legislation, but this approach is complex and historically difficult to execute multiple times in a year.
