## Resource

Trump’s holding off on confirming Jay Clayton as intelligence director, tying it to Congress passing his stalled voter ID bill — a move designed to force action while he’s overseas at the G7. With the key surveillance program expiring and Democrats refusing to renew it until Pulte’s nomination is withdrawn, Trump claims they broke a deal and is now leveraging the nomination delay to push his agenda. The strategy? Make the intelligence pick contingent on the voter ID bill — a bold political gambit that could either crack open gridlock or deepen it.
