Trump’s Influence on GOP Policy Fights: Insights from the Politics Desk

The latest edition of From the Politics Desk explores how major policy fights within the Republican Party are developing, with the possibility of raising taxes on the wealthy being considered. President Trump’s unique approach to policy, which involves taking both sides on certain issues, has created a dynamic where Republicans feel freer to take positions against each other and traditional party orthodoxy. While progressivism is gaining momentum with rallies and campaign cash, the GOP is also seeing a push for a stick-it-to-the-rich agenda. Meanwhile, Democrats are drawing on renewed energy in the fight against Trump, with politicians and institutions pushing back against the administration’s policies. The resistance is growing stronger and bolder, with more institutions refusing to yield to Trump’s demands. However, there is still some appeasement by powerful institutions and anxiety within the Democratic Party aimed at its leadership. The newsletter also highlights other top stories, including Trump’s criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, Supreme Court’s decision to hear arguments on birthright citizenship, and Trump’s meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Defense Department officials will soon brief Trump on options for an Iron Dome anti-missile defense system, and former Wayne County Health Director Abdul El-Sayed enters the Michigan Senate race with an endorsement from Bernie Sanders.
