Greene: Republicans poke fun at Trump behind his back

Former President Donald Trump has expressed a desire for a new owner for CNN as part of any sale of Warner Bros. Discovery, labeling the network as a 'very dishonest group of people.' This statement comes amid a tumultuous period for Warner Bros. Discovery, which is currently the target of a hostile takeover bid from Paramount Skydance, led by David Ellison.

Republicans in Congress are struggling to reach a consensus on a health care plan as the expiration of Affordable Care Act subsidies approaches in 2026. This lack of agreement comes at a critical time as the GOP faces pressure to present a viable alternative to the Democrats' extension of these subsidies.

Moderate Republicans in the House are attempting a revolt against party leaders by pushing for a vote to extend enhanced ObamaCare subsidies, which GOP leaders have declined to address. This move comes as they warn that failing to act could negatively impact Republican prospects in the upcoming midterm elections.

Thirteen House Republicans voted alongside Democrats in a 222-200 decision to advance legislation aimed at repealing former President Trump's executive order that limited the power of federal worker unions. This bipartisan effort reflects a significant shift in the dynamics within the GOP, as some members openly defy party leadership.

More Republicans in both the House and Senate are expressing support for extending the expiring Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, indicating a potential shift away from strict party lines. This comes as lawmakers face a critical deadline to address the subsidies that affect millions of Americans.

As the 2026 midterm elections approach, polling indicates that both Republicans and Democrats are losing traction with young voters, a demographic that is increasingly disillusioned with both parties. This trend highlights a significant shift in the political landscape as younger voters express their dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs.

Indiana is currently the focus of a significant redistricting vote that tests the influence of former President Trump over Republican lawmakers. A congressional map drawn by Republicans has advanced through the state legislature, but its final approval remains uncertain amid internal party tensions.

The Republican Party is experiencing internal tension as it prepares for the 2025 elections, particularly regarding messaging on economic issues. President Trump has been hesitant to use the term 'affordability,' which has raised concerns among GOP members about their electoral strategy ahead of the midterms.
