| Al Jazeera – Breaking News, Worl | TRUMP SHIFTS BLAME TO REPUBLICANS FOR WANING SUPPORT FROM PUBLIC | 2 hrs ago |
According to Al Jazeera – Breaking News, Worl, President Donald Trump has publicly shifted blame for his declining public support onto Republican senators, saying that they are using the summer recess to sidestep politically difficult votes.
Trump’s statement follows Al Jazeera’s description that Republican senators are avoiding contentious legislation during the recess. In related reporting, The Hill notes that Thune, Trump, and Senate conservatives reached a deal to set aside the Budget, Save America Act impasse, while the Washington Post and New York Times report that Bill Cassidy will back Todd Blanche for attorney general, a move that could salvage his confirmation.
The comments come amid growing pressure on Trump from within the GOP over his influence and the party’s legislative priorities. The summer recess traditionally sees lower congressional activity, providing senators a window to defer contentious votes.
