Vote-a-rama heightens Trump-GOP rift on Capitol Hill
TL;DR Summary
Democrats are staging a marathon 'vote-a-rama' on the Senate floor to pressure vulnerable GOP incumbents over Trump priorities, targeting issues from immigration enforcement and the Iran war to the controversial $1.8 billion DOJ 'anti-weaponization' fund. Republicans are pushing their own amendments to curb the fund and advance Trump-aligned measures, while trying to move a reconciliation package before Memorial Day. In parallel, House Republicans are drafting legislation to kill the fund, and lawmakers are holding a high-profile Epstein-related interview, underscoring deep partisan divisions and ongoing investigations as leadership races to clear a bill.
