War chest politics, partisan clashes, and governance strains
Trump’s Turbulent Home Front
This cluster highlights how Donald Trump’s domestic political maneuvering collides with the demands of governing. Despite amassing a massive $1.4 billion campaign war chest, Republicans worry he may not deploy it to help their races, underscoring internal party tensions. At the same time, governors plead for unity even as Trump injects sharp partisanship into traditionally bipartisan forums, while controversies over his rhetoric and clashes with Democrats fuel mounting domestic challenges. Against this backdrop, warnings that his Cabinet could face an ‘open season’ of impeachment efforts illustrate how oversight battles are intensifying around his administration’s conduct at home.
