President Donald Trump is struggling. His approval ratings have fallen to historic lows, and his standing with key segments of the electorate that formed his 2024 coalition—including Latinos—has sharply declined. He has been unable or unwilling to shift his attention to the issues that matter most to working Americans, such as affordability and the threat that artificial intelligence poses to middle class jobs. By every measure, his administration is dragging down Republicans’ prospects of retaining control of Congress, including the Senate, in the upcoming midterm elections. Nothing has been causing Republicans more problems than the president. The only thing that can save them is if the combination of redistricting, voting restrictions, and the presence of federal troops in cities can overcome the natural direction of the democratic will.
Vulnerable Republicans increasingly willing to defy Trump’s agenda as midterms approach
President Donald Trump remains the clear leader of the Republican Party. Yet his grip is weakening among Republicans on Capitol Hill whoâve grown frustrated by what they view as increasingly brazen decisions in his second term.
Republicans are still on track to muscle through a top party priority next week, delivering $70 billion in Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection funding. But even that measure had been at serious risk of collapse in recent weeks after Republicans revolted over Trumpâs insistence for a $1.8 billion settlement fund that critics say is intended to reward his political supporters.

The Republicans Defying Trump
Panelists joined to discuss why the president could face pushback from soon-to-be former senators.
President Trump could be facing Republican pushback from soon-to-be former senators. Panelists on Washington Week With The Atlantic joined last night to discuss the group known as the YOLO caucus, and more.
Breaks between the GOP and the president could have a particular effect on the ongoing Iran war, Nancy Youssef, a staff writer at The Atlantic, said last night. “The idea that we’re starting to see fissures within [Trump’s] own party, I think, potentially gives Iran some leverage in terms of pushing for a deal that is more favorable to them,” she argued. “We’ve seen the president really toggle between trying to end this war as quickly as possible and also get some wide- reaching, headline-grabbing outcome out of it.”
