Chad Pergram reported from Capitol Hill about the challenges facing President Trump's ambitious legislation aimed at being his second-term hallmark. Despite Trump's hopeful comments during his visit, the thin GOP majority in the House faces internal resistance, with key Republicans expressing doubts. Figures like Thomas Massie are outright opposed, while others, like Ralph Norman, are hesitant about the bill's provisions. Pergram indicated that without sufficient votes, the bill is unlikely to progress, highlighting the precarious nature of Trump's domestic agenda at this critical juncture.
This is probably the highest stakes poker that President Trump has played on domestic policy during his second term, because he has to get this bill through.
Well, you talk about generating a buzz here, what he [Trump] needs to generate are votes.
I talked to Thomas Massie, the Republican from Kentucky, who said he's an absolute no.
If they were to put this bill on the floor right now, it would not pass.
