Trump Challenges GOP Loyalty with Controversial Power Moves

President-elect Trump is challenging Senate Republicans by seeking broader powers for recess appointments and considering pardons for January 6th convicts, moves that could strain GOP relations. While Republicans largely support Trump's tax and deregulation agenda, his tariff policies and potential mass deportations are contentious. Trump's influence is evident as Senate leaders agree to expand his appointment powers, but his actions, including potential controversial nominations and failure to sign an ethics pledge, could risk GOP unity and electoral prospects.
