President Donald Trump’s economic approach has put members of his administration and Republicans in Congress on the defensive as the stock market struggles. Despite fears of slower growth or a recession, Trump continues to impose tariffs and cut federal government jobs. This has forced officials to explain why his economic promises on the campaign trail have not materialized. Senate Republicans are concerned about the impact of trade wars, with many expressing worries about the negative effects on the economy.
In other news, Chuck Schumer agreed not to block a Republican stopgap funding bill to avoid a government shutdown, and the Senate confirmed that thousands of probationary federal employees who were fired must be reinstated. The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to narrow injunctions blocking his plan to end automatic birthright citizenship, and the White House withdrew the nomination of a former congressman to lead the CDC.
Additionally, a new book reveals how Joe Biden pressured Kamala Harris to maintain unity between them during the campaign, urging her to avoid any daylight between their positions. Harris, who faced criticism for not clearly articulating her vision for the country, struggled to differentiate herself from Biden’s policies. The newsletter also covers updates on potential Democratic presidential contenders, a funding bill impacting Washington, DC, and the passing of Rep. Raúl Grijalva.
