## Resource

Republicans are in chaos on Capitol Hill as they grapple with a fractured leadership, the sudden death of key budget chair Lindsey Graham, and Donald Trump’s relentless push for a sweeping voting overhaul. With Mitch McConnell sidelined and GOP ranks divided, Senate Republicans face an uphill battle to pass their agenda — especially Trump’s “Save America Act,” which bans mail-in ballots and faces near-certain defeat. Democrats are seizing the moment, framing the GOP’s internal strife and voting restrictions as a blueprint for voter suppression ahead of the midterms. Meanwhile, right-wing lawmakers threaten to attach the controversial bill to defense spending, forcing delays and recesses — all while confirmation hearings for Trump’s nominees loom uncertainly.
