Democrats and some Republicans were appalled by his pick, Bill Pulte, and threatened to hold up renewing a key spy tool until he was yanked. So Thune pressed for a more palatable permanent director, allowing the Senate to swiftly confirm him before Pulte took the reins.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bestusamoverss.com\/?p=3602\">New York primary could forecast future for Democrats. Here\u2019s what you need to know<\/a><\/p> <p>When Trump then nominated Jay Clayton, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, to take the job permanently, crisis seemed averted.<\/p> <p>Then, just hours before the confirmation hearing was scheduled to begin last week, Trump blew up that plan, writing in a 4 a.m. social media post that he would not sign legislation reauthorizing the spy tool unless it also included the Save America Act, the strict voter ID law he wants.<\/p>\n<p>Blowback was swift, as simmering tensions between Trump and Senate Republicans spilled into public view. Trump is set to meet with Senate Republicans for lunch on Wednesday as some say the president&#8217;s erratic moves risk derailing their shared agenda.<\/p> <p>Trump, meanwhile, has repeatedly torched Senate Republicans online and imploded their plans without warning as he vents his frustration with Thune for being unable to pass the controversial voting measure.<\/p> <p>The dynamic is testing Republican unity across branches of government at a critical time, with the Senate and House majorities on the line this fall in the midterm elections.<\/p> <p>And while the president has for years enjoyed unbending loyalty from all but a few GOP lawmakers, the strength of that relationship appears to be fraying as some departing members feel more uninhibited to push back and more members of Congress begin to envision life after Trump.<\/p> <h3>Growing outcry from Senate Republicans<\/h3> <p>Retiring Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., who accused Trump of treating the Senate like a manufacturing department for the executive branch rather than its board of directors, said if Trump understood the repercussions of his moves around Pulte and acted anyway, it was a &#8220;colossal mistake.&#8221;<\/p> <p>Sen.

Four Senate Republicans voted with Democrats on Tuesday to advance a war powers resolution directing Trump to pull back forces from the conflict with Iran, which has not been authorized by Congress.<\/p> <p>A last-ditch effort by Trump to pass the Save America Act nearly derailed a vote on another of Trump&#8217;s top priorities, funding for immigration enforcement. Trump&#8217;s support for an &#8220;anti-weaponization&#8221; fund that could have compensated January 6th rioters resulted in the key spy tool known as FISA 702 lapsing in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s got two speeds, uninterested and the speed of light,&#8221; Sen.

The majority leader has been clear that there are not enough votes in the narrowly divided Senate to pass the Save America Act, which has already failed to advance several times. Nor are there enough votes to dismantle the filibuster to muscle it through, as Trump is demanding.<\/p> <p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a function of the math,&#8221; Thune recently said on Fox News. &#8220;We&#8217;ve got to deal with the real world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Even after this latest outcry from Senate Republicans, Trump doubled down, calling out Thune by name on social media and writing that anyone who opposes nixing the filibuster is a &#8220;fool.&#8221;<\/p> <div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The U.S. Capitol and National Mall is seen on June 13, 2026.\" class=\"wp-image-3608\" height=\"516\" src=\"https:\/\/bestusamoverss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/e0df7e81cffeddea4e9435b65c097656-768x516.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestusamoverss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/e0df7e81cffeddea4e9435b65c097656-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bestusamoverss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/e0df7e81cffeddea4e9435b65c097656-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bestusamoverss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/e0df7e81cffeddea4e9435b65c097656.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n <div>\n<h3>Politics <\/h3>\n<h3>In symbolic vote, Congress directs Trump to remove forces from Iran war<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<!-- END CLASS=\"BUCKETBLOCK\" -->\n<\/div>\n<!-- END CLASS=\"BUCKET IMG\" -->\n<\/div>\n<!-- END ID=\"RESNX-S1-5862113-101\" CLASS=\"BUCKETWRAP INTERNALLINK INSETTWOCOLUMN INSET2COL \" -->\n<p>&#8220;The White House and President Trump have enjoyed working closely with Leader Thune and Senate Republicans to deliver on many important promises to the American people,&#8221; White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson wrote in a statement.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bestusamoverss.com\/?p=3596\">Greetings from sweltering Switzerland<\/a><\/p> <p>Kennedy says Trump&#8217;s friction with the majority leader is not personal. &#8220;If you don&#8217;t like John Thune, you don&#8217;t like golden retrievers,&#8221; Kennedy said last week.<\/p> <p>Most Senate Republicans agree with that sentiment \u2014 and with Thune&#8217;s assessment that the votes just don&#8217;t exist to do what Trump wants. A few exceptions, like Sen.

Scrapping it would eliminate the 60-vote threshold needed to pass most legislation, gutting a rare point of leverage for the minority in the Senate.<\/p> <p>Still, Adam Jentleson, a former top aide to former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the late Nevada Democrat, says Thune and his predecessors have slowly chipped away at the rule, including passing more major legislation with a simple majoritythrough the party-line budget reconciliation process.<\/p> <div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Dome of the U.S. Capitol on April 2, 2026.\" class=\"wp-image-3609\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/bestusamoverss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/b71d28e424d4a85c35def78f9611bff3-768x512.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestusamoverss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/b71d28e424d4a85c35def78f9611bff3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bestusamoverss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/b71d28e424d4a85c35def78f9611bff3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bestusamoverss.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/b71d28e424d4a85c35def78f9611bff3.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n <div>\n<h3>Politics <\/h3>\n<h3>Under pressure from President Trump, can the filibuster survive 2026?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<!-- END CLASS=\"BUCKETBLOCK\" -->\n<\/div>\n<!-- END CLASS=\"BUCKET IMG\" -->\n<\/div>\n<!-- END ID=\"RESNX-S1-5862113-102\" CLASS=\"BUCKETWRAP INTERNALLINK INSETTWOCOLUMN INSET2COL \" -->\n<p>&#8220;What you see is sort of death by a thousand cuts, where both Republicans and Democrats are increasing the number of carve-outs to the filibuster rule,&#8221; says Jentleson, who wrote a book on the filibuster, .<\/p> <p>Former Republican Sen.

He wrote in a recent social media post that without it, &#8220;The Republican Party will never win another Election. I will sadly be the last Republican president.&#8221;<\/p> <p>But the president has himself complicated his party&#8217;s path to holding the majority this fall by helping push out incumbents he says have not been loyal enough, fueling more intraparty tension and pushback.<\/p> <p>Though Congress this week passed a sweeping bipartisan housing bill, lawmakers have also spent significant time trying to anticipate and react to Trump&#8217;s moves.

Asked about that recently, Thune answered indirectly.<\/p> <p>&#8220;At least as far as I&#8217;m concerned, I think our path to keeping the majority in the Senate is going to be focused on the issues that the American people are most concerned about,&#8221; Thune told reporters last week. &#8220;Kitchen table pocketbook issues. Is my community safe, is my country safe? I think those are going to be paramount.&#8221;<\/p> <p>But is it harder to focus on that now?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m doing my best to stay focused,&#8221; Thune said as he disappeared into his office off the Senate floor.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bestusamoverss.com\/?p=3592\">Star Fox Review: Can\u2019t quite teach an old Fox new tricks<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Divides over what GOP priorities should be ahead of this fall&#8217;s midterm elections are testing the relationship between President Trump and Senate Republicans. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3603,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[154,906,217,907],"class_list":["post-3610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","tag-congress","tag-john-thune","tag-president-trump","tag-senate-republicans"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
