On Tuesday afternoon, acting attorney general Todd Blanche <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2026\/06\/02\/trump-retreated-his-payout-fund-some-republicans-want-proof-its-dead\/\" rel=\"\" target=\"_self\" title=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2026\/06\/02\/trump-retreated-his-payout-fund-some-republicans-want-proof-its-dead\/\">announced<\/a> that the administration is \u201cnot moving forward with the fund. Period.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The standoff revealed new strains in Trump\u2019s relationship with a Congress that has rarely exercised its power to check him at a vulnerable moment for his presidency. Republicans\u2019 newfound defiance may say less about the fund itself than about a sharply shifting political dynamic that could have consequences for the rest of Trump\u2019s term.<\/p>\n<p>The tensions between the White House and GOP lawmakers are building as the midterm elections approach, and Republicans are becoming increasingly concerned about the party\u2019s ability to maintain their narrow majorities in the House and Senate, especially as the president\u2019s policies keep <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/2026\/05\/13\/ahead-midterms-trump-economic-agenda-is-making-inflation-worse\/\" rel=\"\" target=\"_self\" title=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/2026\/05\/13\/ahead-midterms-trump-economic-agenda-is-making-inflation-worse\/\">pushing up consumer prices. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re starting to see Republicans want to show some independence from Trump, and this was an easy issue to do it on,\u201d said Alex Conant, a Republican strategist. \u201cThis Congress was already very hard to govern, and it will only get harder as Trump becomes less popular and the midterms draw nearer. There\u2019s a lot of frustration with the political situation that they find themselves in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republican strategists viewed the deeply unpopular fund as a particular political liability. In a May <a href=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/00f337ee59cec79d914104440d7d056b.pdf\" rel=\"\" target=\"_self\" title=\"https:\/\/d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net\/documents\/econTabReport_aWdgoE7.pdf\">Economist\/YouGov poll,<\/a> 49 percent of respondents said they opposed the fund, including 48 percent of Trump voters and 45 percent of those who identified as MAGA supporters. And Senate Republicans had a direct way to show their displeasure \u2014 by blocking a $72 billion immigration enforcement funding package that Trump badly wants.<\/p>\n<p>Many Republican lawmakers and strategists struggled to figure out how to even talk about the fund, amid criticism that it amounted to Trump self-dealing and rewarding his political supporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople that have pled guilty to physical acts against the president may actually be able to get compensated. How absurd does that sound coming out of my mouth?\u201d said Sen. Thom Tillis (R-North Carolina) said in May. Tillis decided to oppose Trump\u2019s spending bill last year and is not running for reelection.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, senators also revolted against a proposal to add money to a budget bill to cover security costs related to Trump\u2019s plan to add a ballroom to the White House. Trump has repeatedly emphasized that the ballroom is a top political priority, even as the public opposes the initiative by a wide margin.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate parliamentarian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2026\/05\/17\/hundreds-millions-trumps-ballroom-ruled-out-order-senate\/ \" rel=\"\" target=\"_self\" title=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2026\/05\/17\/hundreds-millions-trumps-ballroom-ruled-out-order-senate\/ \">ruled<\/a> that the ballroom funds could not be included in the funding measure. Trump then urged Senate Republicans to fire the parliamentarian, but they have ignored his call.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate last month also advanced a resolution to end the Iran war on a 50-47 vote, with four Republicans joining Democrats in advancing the proposal. Still, the measure is unlikely to become law, in part because of the fact Trump could veto it.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Trump has alienated Senate Republicans by endorsing challengers in GOP primaries, ending the political careers of well-liked figures such as Sens. John Cornyn of Texas and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana.<\/p>\n<p>A more defiant Congress could provide a significant obstacle for Trump, who is increasingly confronting barriers to his hard-charging tactics to remake American government and society. Initiatives ranging from his tariffs to his Kennedy Center renovations have been stymied in the court system, and world leaders have displayed a greater willingness to push back against the increasingly embattled president.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2025\/12\/16\/trump-executive-orders-second-term\/\" rel=\"\" target=\"_self\" title=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2025\/12\/16\/trump-executive-orders-second-term\/\">largely governed <\/a>through executive action, circumventing the legislative branch to advance his agenda, with the exception of his 2025 tax cuts package. To date, Congress has been far more deferential to Trump than it was in his first term, when members of his own party thwarted his repeal of the Affordable Care Act and blocked his attempt to build a border wall.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has been uncharacteristically silent on the current backlash. He has not fielded questions from the White House press corps since the cabinet meeting Wednesday. His remarks over the past several days have been limited to posts on Truth Social and interviews with individual news outlets, including a Fox News segment about the ballroom with his daughter-in-law Lara Trump. He has not acknowledged or confirmed that the payout fund is dead.<\/p>\n<p>The White House dismissed the notion that there is any daylight between Trump and congressional Republicans.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/?p=2534\">Supreme Court allows Alabama to use voting map favoring GOP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump is committed to maintaining Republican majorities in the House and Senate,\u201d White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said. \u201cThe White House and President Trump have enjoyed working closely with House and Senate Republicans to deliver on many important promises to the American people, including the largest tax cut for working Americans in history. While the media and Democrats attempt to sow nonexistent divisions, we look forward to continuing this close relationship to continue fulfilling President Trump\u2019s agenda that Americans elected him to enact \u2013 especially funding ICE and CBP.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, Sen. John Neely Kennedy (R-Louisiana) said Republicans became concerned about Trump\u2019s payout fund in part because of a lack of clarity from the administration about how it would work and who would administer it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI support redressing people\u2019s grievances, but I don\u2019t want a fixed process,\u201d Kennedy said. \u201cAnd I\u2019m not saying the process would be fixed, but it could give an appearance of that. And that\u2019s what the pushback was all about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cWhen you don\u2019t understand what\u2019s happening and it happens in Washington \u2014 I don\u2019t care who\u2019s in charge \u2014 you assume the worst. If you trust government, you failed history class. And so people assumed the worst.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republican senators pressured the White House to abandon the payout fund by threatening to derail the immigration enforcement package, giving them leverage over the administration. Trump also has three Cabinet-level vacancies and would need the Senate to confirm his nominees, although he has shown a willingness to keep such appointments in acting roles for extended periods.<\/p>\n<p>When Trump on Tuesday announced he would appoint loyalist <a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2026\/06\/02\/trump-picks-mortgage-chief-bill-pulte-lead-national-intelligence\/?itid=hp-top-table-main_p001_f006\" rel=\"\" target=\"_self\" title=\"https:\/\/washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2026\/06\/02\/trump-picks-mortgage-chief-bill-pulte-lead-national-intelligence\/?itid=hp-top-table-main_p001_f006\">Bill Pulte<\/a> as acting director of the national intelligence, several Republicans on the Senate Intelligence Committee said they were unsure whether Pulte had relevant experience. Pulte, a housing regulator, has no background in intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t see any evidence of qualification for that job,\u201d Cornyn told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>Cornyn is among a handful of Republican lawmakers who may be newly emboldened to criticize Trump after the president effectively ended their careers. Lawmakers in this position have informally become known as the \u201cYOLO Caucus,\u201d a reference to the term \u201cYou Only Live Once.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump sought to consolidate his control of the legislative branch by endorsing the primary opponents of senators he viewed as disloyal to his political movement. Given Republicans\u2019 narrow majority in Congress, those lame duck members of the party still have significant power to thwart Trump\u2019s policy plans.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans were particularly angered last month by Trump\u2019s announcement that he would endorse Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the state\u2019s Republican Senate primary, paving the way for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2026\/05\/26\/texas-voters-head-polls-amid-concerns-over-senate-choice\/\" rel=\"\" target=\"_self\" title=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2026\/05\/26\/texas-voters-head-polls-amid-concerns-over-senate-choice\/\">Paxton\u2019s defeat of Cornyn<\/a>. Many Senate Republicans argued that Paxton is a scandal-plagued candidate who will need extensive funds to prevail in the general election.<\/p>\n<p>Republican lawmakers unleashed their growing fury at the Trump administration during a heated meeting with Blanche before Memorial Day. The senators pressed him about who would be eligible for the fund, including whether money would be handed out to people who participated in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple senators yelled at Blanche during the meeting, saying it appeared that the president was \u201cself-dealing,\u201d Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said on his podcast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe anger and frustration from Republican senators was not legal, it was political,\u201d Cruz said. \u201cIt was, \u2018You\u2019re putting us in a position that that for many of the Republican senators, they were not willing to defend.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n<p>The fund was also personal issue for some lawmakers who were on Capitol Hill during the Jan. 6 attacks on the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey continue to have very personal, emotional trauma from it,\u201d said Matthew Bartlett, a Republican political strategist who was appointed by Trump at the State Department during the first term.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, some of the fund\u2019s critics were eager to move on from the debate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just feel like we just need to do a wayback machine and just pretend like this never existed and take whatever steps are necessary to make sure it can never exist or disperse,\u201d Tillis said. \u201cThere are other mechanisms for people who were over-prosecuted.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/?p=2531\">Mariners\u2019 Josh Naylor gets a day off to rest after having back spasms<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>Jarrell Dillard contributed to this report. <\/i><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of all the president\u2019s moves, the fund is the first to prompt real GOP resistance, signaling a sharply shifting political environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2538,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2541","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
