GOP senators are lining up behind the majority leader"},"content":{"rendered":"<div>\n<div>\n<p>\nPresident Donald Trump may be the head of the Republican Party, but when it comes to the Senate, Majority Leader John Thune is still in charge.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=3634\">Sunken wreck of WWII \u2018hell ship\u2019 used to transport POWs discovered after more than 80 years<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump, who will attend lunch with Senate Republicans at the US Capitol on Wednesday, is growing tired of hearing \u201cno\u201d from the Senate leader as he pushes certain controversial priorities, according to people familiar with his thinking. But Thune is sitting on as much support as any leader could with less than five months until the midterms, and is surrounded by some emboldened colleagues who are more willing than they have been in years to take on the Republican administration.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In more than a dozen interviews with Senate staff and members, Thune\u2019s GOP colleagues contend it\u2019s been a precarious stretch for the majority leader as he has been forced to disarm one Trump-devised political grenade after another. But if Trump is frustrated that Thune doesn\u2019t follow orders, many of the South Dakota lawmaker\u2019s colleagues are grateful the majority leader is willing to risk his own political future with the president to ensure the party has a fighting chance at holding its majority.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            For the next several months, Thune must continue walking that tightrope between loyalty to a president who demands it and protection of an institution and colleagues who are facing their own political headwinds.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe president is creating terms that will never ever be satisfied, so why are we walking into a boxed canyon? That\u2019s what John is confronted with,\u201d retiring Sen. Thom Tillis said. \u201cJohn Thune is an extraordinary leader. He has the patience of Job.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The North Carolina Republican added, \u201cI could not do his job.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump has fumed for months over Thune\u2019s refusal to jam through a sweeping federal elections overhaul bill ahead of November\u2019s midterms \u2014 a measure the president has argued is critical enough to warrant eliminating the filibuster if necessary. In private conversations with allies, Trump has vented that Thune is not fighting hard enough for his priorities, people familiar with the discussions say, and complained that he\u2019s tired of hearing the majority leader give him reasons why the narrowly divided Senate can\u2019t carry out his demands.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Thune has made clear publicly and privately that the votes are not there to pass the president\u2019s voting bill, even as he agreed to bring it up repeatedly, most recently as part of the Senate\u2019s marathon voting session this month to pass an immigration enforcement funding package. Thune has declined Trump\u2019s calls to fire the parliamentarian \u2014 the Senate\u2019s nonpartisan rules referee \u2014 or to kill the filibuster to jam it through.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIt\u2019s not good. I mean, the president depends on the majority leader to get his agenda passed,\u201d Sen. John Cornyn, a Texas Republican who recently lost a primary to a Trump-backed challenger, told reporters about the state of Trump and Thune\u2019s relationship. \u201cAs far as I can tell, John Thune is guilty of nothing except telling the president the truth, which is there are not the votes.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The rift between Trump and Thune reflects a broader divide over how the GOP should spend the crucial months ahead of midterm elections that could cost the party its congressional majority and bring the White House\u2019s agenda to a halt.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The lunch on Wednesday, Sen. Tommy Tuberville said, is a chance for a \u201cday of reckoning\u201d to iron out some of those differences.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cWe gotta stay together as a team. Right now, we\u2019re kind of a split group,\u201d the Alabama Republican said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump, driven by personal conviction and encouraged by a handful of vocal lawmakers, has pressed Republicans to pursue his most ambitious demands with abandon, insisting that his political instincts will guide the GOP to victory \u2014 if only they\u2019d just listen to him.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Thune, meanwhile, presides over a Senate Republican conference that has largely grown dismayed by the president\u2019s priorities \u2014 and increasingly convinced that preserving the party\u2019s majority in November may require bucking Trump on some of his most controversial demands.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            That divide has deepened in recent weeks amid standoffs between the White House and Senate Republicans over Trump\u2019s new acting intelligence chief, Bill Pulte, and the president\u2019s aborted attempt to create a $1.8 billion fund that critics say would have largely benefited political supporters and allies. And one day before Trump\u2019s visit to the Hill, the Senate voted to rein in the president on Iran.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Navigating those perilous moments has invariably fallen to Thune. He carefully managed GOP senators\u2019 discomfort with Pulte and worked with Democrats to try to swiftly confirm nominee Jay Clayton to take the role, only to have the president derail the process by canceling the confirmation hearing.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            When the Department of Justice \u201canti-weaponization\u201d fund imperiled support for a massive homeland security funding bill, Thune spent hours working to convince Sen. Bill Cassidy to vote against a Democratic amendment that would have torpedoed the bill. That allowed three Republican senators facing reelection to vote with Democrats in a stand against the unpopular fund.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            And when senators were tap dancing around the idea of having to vote for millions of dollars in funding toward Trump\u2019s White House ballroom project as gas prices skyrocketed, Thune gave his members space to stake out their own positions.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cI am not sure anybody else could do it as well as John Thune has done it,\u201d said GOP Sen. Kevin Cramer of North Dakota. \u201cHe delivers on the president\u2019s agenda quite nicely but never completely caves into the president. Not because he wouldn\u2019t on certain things, but he understands his constituency, which, ya know, is 52 other Republican senators.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Thune is now also leading a conference that has become slightly more emboldened to publicly register discontent with the president. Two GOP senators \u2014 Cornyn and Cassidy \u2014 both lost primaries to Trump-backed candidates this spring, and they, along with the retiring Tillis, are now free from the shackles of reelection.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The lesson of watching the president endorse Cornyn\u2019s opponent \u2014 especially when many viewed the Texas senator as largely loyal to the president \u2014 has also reverberated within the conference, several members and aides told CNN.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cRepublicans have been deferential to the president to a point that doesn\u2019t seem to have done any good,\u201d Cornyn said. \u201cWe\u2019ve learned some lessons. If you support the president, it doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s going to support you. Part of the problem is people who are up in 2028 are thinking, \u2018Holy crap, could this happen to me?\u2019\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=3620\">An unusual strategy helps some tropical butterflies live 25 times longer than their relatives<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            Thune allies argue the tension with the president may merely be a blip. The leader, with his affable Midwestern style, has maintained a strong working relationship with Trump for years, delivering the president his signature tax cut bill, finding a path forward on major housing reform, confirming Trump\u2019s Cabinet at a historic clip, and candidly laying out his assessment on what is possible with a narrowly divided Senate in regular phone calls.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cI think Trump genuinely likes and respects him. Compare that to some other people, that isn\u2019t the dynamic that exists,\u201d one GOP senator said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump has often complimented Thune, calling him a \u201cgood man\u201d earlier this month. And Thune has sought to develop a close alliance with Trump, even as he\u2019s made clear that some of the president\u2019s desires simply don\u2019t have votes to make them worth pursuing.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In a sign that Trump to some degree recognizes the limits of Thune\u2019s powers \u2014 and the enormous support he maintains within the GOP conference \u2014 he has refused to entertain calls by some MAGA allies to try to depose the majority leader.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe White House and President Trump have enjoyed working closely with Leader Thune and Seante Republicans to deliver on many important promises to the American people,\u201d White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement downplaying the difference between Trump and Thune. \u201cWe look forward to continuing these close relationships and fulfilling President Trump\u2019s priorities that Americans elected him to enact.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Yet in recent weeks, those close to the situation acknowledged the relationship has frayed.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cI don\u2019t think he has the best relationship in the world right now with John Thune,\u201d said one Trump adviser, who described the president as particularly frustrated with Thune\u2019s insistence on preserving long-held Senate customs. \u201cThe problem is Trump looks at John Thune as [Mitch] McConnell 2.0, and that\u2019s not a good thing.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In some parts of the White House, Thune\u2019s standing has eroded amid unfavorable comparisons with House Speaker Mike Johnson, who has impressed Trump and his senior aides by advancing major parts of the administration\u2019s agenda with only one- or two-vote margins.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Johnson, advisers and allies said, has also put in extraordinary time and effort to win Trump\u2019s trust compared with Thune \u2014 frequently traveling to the White House and Mar-a-Lago and demonstrating a willingness to find creative ways to advance Trump\u2019s demands regardless of the blowback within his conference.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cHe\u2019s a fighter and he understands the \u2018America First\u2019 base, and I\u2019m not sure if Thune does,\u201d the Trump adviser said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Thune\u2019s defenders counter that the House and Senate are vastly different institutions, and that Thune can\u2019t rely on the same mechanisms to show Trump how he\u2019s working to get his agenda passed.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIf you\u2019re the speaker and you have 218 [votes], you have everything. But if you\u2019re the Senate majority leader, you\u2019re always going to have three or four people who for various reasons on any given day need something or feel strongly about something,\u201d said former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who remains close to the White House.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But, he added: \u201cI think Trump is not particularly interested in constitutional process, and he\u2019s not particularly interested in Thune\u2019s problems.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Ahead of Wednesday\u2019s high-stakes lunch, Thune has said he hopes his colleagues make it clear to the president that the majority leader isn\u2019t alone standing in the way of Trump\u2019s agenda, but that he is only the messenger for the GOP conference.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cI am not saying anything that isn\u2019t a view that wouldn\u2019t be shared or articulated by a lot of my colleagues for sure,\u201d Thune said. \u201cIt\u2019s always helpful if others would speak up and it\u2019s not just me.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump\u2019s irritation with Thune is also coming at a time when other senators are looking at the president\u2019s approval ratings and creating some distance. Recent CNN polling shows roughly two-thirds of voters believe Trump\u2019s policies have worsened economic conditions in the US.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Thune is also attracting ire from an animated base and conservatives in his ranks like Sen. Mike Lee, a Utah Republican, who has made clear he believes the majority leader could fight harder for the president\u2019s priorities.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe only thing standing between us and victory is hard work,\u201d Lee wrote on X this week.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIt\u2019s his prerogative to communicate how he wants to communicate. But at the end of the day, I have to deal with reality. And sometimes the alternative universe that is X doesn\u2019t reflect the facts on the ground,\u201d Thune told reporters in response to Lee\u2019s intensive push online.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=3606\">The new power broker: How Zohran Mamdani muscled NYC\u2019s Democratic establishment<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>CNN\u2019s Ted Barrett, Morgan Rimmer and Sarah Ferris contributed to this report. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump may be the head of the Republican Party, but when it comes to the Senate, Majority Leader John Thune is still in charge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3635,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Trump is growing tired of hearing \u2018no\u2019 from Thune.
