Pushed to the limit, Republicans show rare defiance to Trump’s demands

Republican senators defied President Trump's demands this week by refusing to pass a $70 billion budget package that included his controversial $1.776 billion fund for January 6 rioters and others he claims were wrongly prosecuted. The rare display of congressional independence forced a postponement of voting and delayed Trump's June 1 deadline, while also highlighting growing tensions within the GOP as Trump uses his political influence to challenge dissenting Republican lawmakers.
