Trump Gives Congress Zero to Do Before Midterms

Wait 5 sec.

“President Donald Trump sketched out his vision Tuesday night of Republican governance heading into the midterms. Congress is barely in the picture,” Politico reports.“From a legislative perspective, Trump’s State of the Union address was notable for what it didn’t include. He gave Republicans a pass on trying to revive his global tariff campaign after a major Supreme Court setback. He didn’t demand another party-line domestic policy bill before November, and he even skipped a jab at one of his favorite punching bags, the Senate filibuster.”“Instead, Trump used the bulk of the speech to lean into red-meat issues like illegal immigration and gender-affirming health care, while encouraging lawmakers to tackle a few relatively minor topics — many of which have already been churning behind the scenes for months.”
