Trump Cast as GOP Fix-It for a Fractured Hill
TL;DR Summary
House Republicans are deadlocked over funding for Homeland Security and a key spy-law extension, prompting Senate leaders to urge direct involvement from President Trump to broker a deal. Trump has signaled support for a two-track plan but has been preoccupied with other priorities, leaving Speaker Johnson to appease hard-liners by tying concessions—such as a digital-currency ban and ethanol provisions—to must-pass bills. With the government shutdown dragging on, party leaders and allies say only Trump’s direct intervention can unite the factions and move legislation forward.
