The NPR Politics Podcast · What's Trump's beef with Senate Republicans? · 22 Jun 2026 podcast

Yeah.

I mean, I'm not sure if he understands how it works or if he just doesn't care.

I mean, he has been railing on the Senate since returning to office.

He did it in his first term.

He's always, as Sam was talking about, feels like it's moving too slow and not taking the actions that he wants to take.

This is why you see so many executive orders by this president

Ever since the beginning, because he wants to take as much power as he can, as he has shown that with the executive orders that give him more and more power.

At the same time, the House has kind of handed over a lot more power to him.

And he wants that same kind of power by the Senate.

You know, I mean, I think one of the things is that Trump is just so adamant about getting this through.

And, you know, it dates back to I mean, certainly it's one of his biggest domestic priorities.

This legislation and dates back, you know, all the way back to 2020 in him saying that that election was rigged, which obviously it was not.

I mean, so in a bigger kind of political picture, this act, which, you know, does voter I.D.

and requires people to bring identification.

Absolutely.

And this kind of speaks to his kind of message that he has had forever and ever and ever.

that Republicans are vulnerable, that elections are vulnerable and that Republicans are being taken advantage of.

And I think this is an issue that also energizes his base and they want this as well.

So it is part of his political message that he has been preaching since 2020 and continues to do so.

You know, in terms of some of those comments that Trump has made that really have not gone over well, like I love the inflation type thing.
