Republican lawmakers have expressed growing frustration with President Donald Trump's timing regarding various announcements that they believe have disrupted legislative plans. Congressional Republicans state that recent actions from the White House have led to delays in major bills and contributed to the lapse of a national security authority. For instance, the rollout of a proposed $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund last month faced backlash, causing GOP leaders to postpone a reconciliation bill until assurances were made that the fund would not proceed. Additionally, Trump's appointment of Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence faced bipartisan criticism, complicating efforts to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Lawmakers are currently in a standoff over this extension. Trump's endorsement of Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate race has also created tensions within the party. Some Republicans have privately noted that Trump's decisions often undermine their efforts, with one House Republican stating that the timing of Trump's actions seems deliberately disruptive. Others have called for better coordination between the White House and Congress to avoid such issues in the future, particularly with the upcoming midterm elections in mind.
