President Donald Trump encountered significant opposition from within his own Republican Party on Thursday, as several GOP lawmakers defied him on major votes in Congress. The Senate advanced a bipartisan measure to restrict Trump's military actions in Venezuela, with five Republican senators joining Democrats in support, signaling a shift in GOP stance on foreign policy. Meanwhile, in the House, at least two dozen Republicans voted with Democrats to override Trump's vetoes on bills related to water projects and tribal land rights, marking an unusual level of dissent for midterm election year. Notably, some Republicans expressed concerns over bipartisanship and resource funding, emphasizing that their votes were not necessarily aligned with Trump. Trump responded sharply to these defections via social media, condemning the senators and urging voters to oust them in upcoming elections, including Maine Senator Susan Collins, who is vulnerable in her re-election bid. Trump’s criticism extended to other GOP senators who voted against his interests, highlighting internal party tensions. Despite these rifts, the GOP caucus largely continues to support Trump on contentious issues such as Venezuela and immigration. The political landscape remains volatile as Trump’s influence faces challenges from within his party, with some lawmakers questioning leadership and strategy ahead of the midterms.
