Trump's Influence Persists as GOP Faces Internal Struggles

As the GOP navigates its future, Donald Trump's influence remains a key factor amid internal struggles. According to the New York Times, a recent special election in Tennessee's Seventh Congressional District revealed a troubling trend for Republicans, as the GOP candidate won by just under nine points in a district that previously favored Trump by a 22-point margin.

Meanwhile, Breitbart News reports that House conservatives, led by Rep. Andy Biggs, have presented a healthcare reform framework to GOP leadership, emphasizing a return to Trump-era policies. This proposal includes calls to end enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies and to implement conservative healthcare priorities, reflecting a division within the party as some members push back against Trump's directives while others align with his vision.

The framework is designed to unify conservatives around a legislative path that prioritizes affordability, transparency, and patient control, echoing Trump's own policy legacy. As these internal conflicts unfold, the party's unity and strategy are increasingly under scrutiny, highlighting the complexities of Trump's ongoing influence within the GOP.
