- β οΈ His current predicament stems from the government shutdown, where he is caught between Trump's demands, House conservatives, and political viability.
Trump's Abandonment Strategy

- π§ He is fixated on the Senate filibuster, largely ignoring the crisis in the House and Johnson's desperate need for support.

Dysfunction in the House

- π± This internal dysfunction is expected to embolden Democrats for the 2026 elections, highlighting Republican inability to govern effectively.
