Republicans in Congress struggle with internal squabbles as time runs out on 2026

Republicans are facing significant internal conflicts just as they aim to maintain control of Congress in the 2026 elections.

This disarray could undermine their credibility as the "grown-ups" in politics, potentially impacting their electoral prospects and the ability to pass future major policies.
