That has not happened.

You know, that's a good guess.

For one, the president's GOP lawmaker enemies list continues to swell.

He pushed out not just Cassidy, but also Senator John Cornyn, Representative Thomas Massey out of their seats.

So for Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, who has effectively a one-vote majority because of what we're told is a long-term medical absence among one of his members, that means Massey could decide to sink any vote he chooses.

And as we move out of primary races, where party voters matter the most, and into general election season, where all voters matter, midterm headwinds are only going to blow stronger.

There are so few races, though, that are actually competitive—maybe 25—

But with majorities this narrow, you only need a few seats to flip for Capitol Hill to just be turned upside down.

In order to pass a party-line bill to fund immigration enforcement operations for the rest of Trump's term, the rules say Senate Republicans have to allow Democrats the chance to put amendments up for a vote.

That's become a problem.

Democrats are planning an amendment to ban President Trump's new fund of taxpayer dollars for those claiming to be victims of politically motivated prosecutions.

And GOP leaders think the amendment has more than enough Republican support to pass.

It's an awkward situation for the party in power and one that could provoke the ire of the president.

Some hoped the president would walk away from what he describes as an anti-weaponization fund while lawmakers were back home meeting with constituents.

That didn't happen.

Asked about President Trump's fund that he says will pay reparations to folks unjustly persecuted by the government, Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska, had this to say.

I don't like it.

Here's Senate Republican Majority Leader John Thune on the same issue.

Thune said the fund concerns are linked to why these votes are delayed.
