GOP's 100-Day Reconciliation Rush: A Tightrope Walk to Legislative Success
2025-04-29
The Republican Party faces a daunting challenge: passing President Trump's domestic agenda through reconciliation within 100 days. Internal divisions over slashing hundreds of billions in federal spending threaten to derail the process. Disagreements on tax policy, including the SALT cap and offsets for tax cuts, add further complications. The looming debt ceiling deadline, the so-called 'X date', presents a significant risk, potentially disrupting the entire timetable. Finally, unpredictable actions from President Trump could introduce further chaos. The success of this ambitious undertaking hinges on the GOP's ability to navigate these internal and external hurdles.
