These next 6 months should be very interesting in the House of Representatives. Is a revolt brewing in the GOP that could cause Trump grief and lead to more bipartisanship? Likely. -
The primary season is over, and those seeking re-election will be freer to depart from Trump on a few issues that truly bother even their MAGA supporters in their own districts. They do not need to fear the threat of Trump "primaring them" if they do not vote 100% witth him. Trump is a lame duck in 2028 and looking ahead, a head a 90% favorable may be enough to establish their bona fide while voting against a few Trump-supported issues.-Those retiring may want to consider their legacy and be clear on the record where they were in 2026 if they disagree with some of Trump's policies.
-With polls showing real anger over affordability issues, incumbent votes on the record will make them very vulnerable to attack ads. ..such as GOP Rep. X vote to take away your health care, or vote for tariffs ot cause your groceries and other purchases to rise in cost, etc. Particularly sensitive will be what no GOP rep wants on their voting record: that they voted for the slush fund or against the War Powers Act. Watch them try to do whatever parliamentary trick to avoid having to vote on these issues and have their vote on record.
-Those who were defeated in primaries this spring because of Trump's endorsement of their opponents may feel either freer to make a statement about their legacy or even to take a bit of revenge.
That may explain why now there is a small revolt brewing in the GOP House caucus against the ballroom/arch, and the slush fund to benefit Trump allies guilty of crimes of J6 and others. The Epstein cover-up will still be a hot item among some MAGA. Especially angering is the clause in the slush fund that grants immunity from IRS actions for Trump himself or his family now and after he no longer remains in the White House. That should be a real outrage, if there ever was one.(Corruption on stilts)
