Gas prices as of this morning are again over $4, according to AAA.
And polling shows the cost of living and affordability are Americans' chief concerns.
And that's the context that Republicans have with maybe a two-vote margin in the House when they're hoping to take votes on the president's priorities before they head home to sell their record to constituents in hopes of getting reelected this fall.
Gerrymandering and partisan sorting all mean that fewer lawmakers are actually at risk of losing their jobs than you might assume.
But when the margin of control in Washington is so slim, there are still maybe a dozen or so Republicans who are probably sweating the idea of casting a vote to, say, give billions more to an expanding war effort as part of what's known as a reconciliation bill without anything new to pay for that spending when political headwinds are already blowing against them.

Yeah, that's right.
And I think there's a chance that that combined bill could narrowly pass if Speaker Mike Johnson can convince Republicans to stay united on a procedural step required before the final vote.
That's a big if.
And it's doomed in the Senate, where unlike the reconciliation bill, it requires a full 60 votes to pass.
Some Republicans have objections because this version of the stock trading ban allows members to keep the stocks they already own, which in theory means they could still be swayed to vote in their own interests rather than in the interests of their constituents.
Democrats also share that concern, and many of them also oppose the voter ID requirements.
