One looming threat to President Donald Trump that has House Republicans scrambling, a political analyst said Thursday morning.

More than a dozen coal plants are expected to benefit from a $700 million plan with the help of the Defense Production Act, according to a post by CBS senior White House reporter Jennifer Jacobs.

Donald Trump "may not make it to the end of this term" according to political commentator Jim Acosta

Ex-CNN journalist Acosta says he cannot see how Trump, 79, makes it to 2029 as president after showing signs of rapid decline so soon into the first year of his second term. Acosta believes even those closest to the president have noticed the decline over the last year and are treating him less like a "dear leader" and more like "goodnight grandpa".

A political consultant says it has been a "very bad month" for the Republican Party.

Rick Wilson believes a series of election losses earlier this month is a sign of "harm" being done to the base of the political party. Speaking with Molly Jong-Fast, Wilson suggested the changes seen as a result of this month's elections will damage the core of the Republican Party.

He said, "Their own pollsters are telling them, 'this has been really bad for you guys' because it has been. This has been a very bad month and change for the Republican Party because, you know, the harm being done to poor people is not the point. The harm being done to their own base is the point. And there's been a lot of harm done to their own base."...

After Vice President J.D. Vance cast the deciding vote to allow Donald Trump's megabill to pass the Senate Tuesday, opponents took to social media to warn the House that it was up to them to stave off impending disaster for lower-income Americans.

Call To Activism called Vance's tiebreaker, "one of the most shameful moments in American history."

"After 26 hours of fighting on the Senate floor, Republicans voted to rip health care from millions of people and let little babies go hungry. And they cheered. I'm angry. You should be too," posted Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)....
