How Trump paved the way for new GOP political fights

By Jonathan Allen

As they look at the abyss of the increase in national debt, the Republicans are starting to talk about the possibility of increasing taxes on the rich.

Yes, you read that right, and NBC News’ Sahil Kapur and Peter Nicholas have reports to save him.

Since the time when George HW Bush breaks his promise “Read My Lips”, the Republicans have run for the hills each time a tax increase is mentioned. Now, this option is part of a sprawling, animated and consecutive set of political fighting between the ascending populist wing of the GOP and the conservatives of the old guard of the old guard.

What happened? President Donald Trump. His eagerness to take both sides on certain questions – sometimes in a single sentence – allows him to maintain the dominant voice on public policy and makes it more difficult for his opponents to identify him. In his second mandate, the other Republicans are starting to adapt.

As long as they support it at the end, they are more free to take position against each other – and party – before making a last call.

It is not only on domestic taxes. Trump’s Trump’s prices outside can be a threat to economics and its long -term political success. But in the meantime, they upset the traditional paradigms partisans of Washington and blocked the coverage of other problems.

While progressives Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio -Cortez organize gatherings across the country, bringing tens of thousands of people to gatherings that accuse Trump of having sold the working class to align the pockets of the richest people in the country, the argument of the mag of the Gop is rhetorically – and in some cases at the level of the policy – GOP is rhetorically – and in some cases in terms of policies – to be part of the sticker – the GOP is rhetorically – and in certain cases.

The dynamics are always emerging, but it somewhat recalls the era of the middle of the 20th century of democratic domination at the Congress – when a party which was on both sides of civil rights, both sides of foreign policy and both sides of the distribution of advantages held all power and had all the energy in the development of politicians.

The cart, of course, should not be put in front of the horse. There are many reasons to think that the GOP will not really increase the richest tax burden. After all, Trump is emptying the IRS, which already undercollates hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes, mainly rich.

But for the moment, at least, the Trump model of Triangulant against itself – and its following republican colleagues – makes it even more difficult for the Democratic minority to block on a target and define its own program.

Democrats are based on renewed energy in the fight against Trump

By Natasha Korecki and Bridget Bowman

In the red state of Montana on Wednesday, A crowd inflated For two political stars of the left, Senator Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., And representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Dn.y., who promised to “fight against the oligarchy” in the administration of President Donald Trump.

That night, representative Nikki Budzinski, d-ill., Had his biggest crowd in the town hall, with many people wanting to know how the Democrats pushed.

And a few hours later, Senator Chris Van Hollen, D-MD., Went to the Salvador to draw attention to a case at the center of the party’s arguments that Trump’s immigration policies have exceeded the existing orders of law and court.

These events of the last 24 hours indicate a similar phenomenon: in a large and small way, the resistance to the second mandate to Trump becomes stronger and more daring.

The decline comes not only from politicians, but also from some of the powerful institutions that have been attacked by the administration. They understand Harvard UniversityTHE Massachusetts Institute of Technology And Princetonwho have all refused to give in to A list of Trump requests This would revise hiring, disciplinary practices and other practices in the face of billions of dollars in federal funding.

Although it is far from being a full -fledged revolt, more of those targeted by Trump’s policies are now fighting, compared to universities, law firms and Even democratic politicians who looked in the first weeks and months of his mandate. However, in the midst of the gusts of resistance is a constant flow of appeasement by some of the most powerful institutions in the country, like the main law firms This concluded agreements with the White House – including five others last week – to collectively provide hundreds of millions of dollars of free legal work.

Meanwhile, the Democrats try to exploit anti-top energy while the party gathered from 2024 and recovered during the mid-term elections next year. But it could be complicated, because part of this anxiety is for democratic leaders.
