President-elect Donald J. Trump's political power faced a surprising challenge when 38 House Republicans defied his directive to support a crucial spending and debt deal.
This rebellion was notably led by conservatives typically aligned with Mr. Trump, marking a significant moment that questions the depth of his influence over the GOP.
The defeat of the spending bill not only jeopardized the government’s operations but also highlighted fractures in the Republican Party ahead of Trump's impending return to power.
As the government faced a shutdown, the defiance forces us to reconsider whether Trump's grip on the GOP is still as strong as presumed.
