Trump faces new Republican resistance in Congress as midterm pressures build

Republican lawmakers are increasingly willing to break with Trump, publicly rebuking him on several issues as election season heats up.
Congress recently pushed back on multiple Trump priorities — blocking or rolling back funding tied to the White House ballroom and an “anti-weaponization” fund, opposing domestic-spying measures, and passing Ukraine aid (likely to face a veto).
The growing dissent could complicate Trump’s nominees and major agenda items, even if many moves so far are largely symbolic.
