Republicans’ recent stumbles in Congress highlight the difficult road ahead for their agenda

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans’ stumble on an immigration funding bill is raising questions about other parts of their legislative agenda. That includes whether Republicans can enact another catchall, party-line bill referred to in Washington parlance as “Reconciliation 3.0.” House Republicans have spent recent weeks laying the groundwork for the massive bill, which they hope will serve as a final sales pitch to voters going into the midterms. Success will reinforce the GOP’s message of being able to deliver on legislative priorities. Failure will underscore some of the Republican fractures under President Donald Trump that could leave voters seeking an alternative. Democrats say Republicans will have a more difficult path than they did with Trump’s tax and spending cuts bill.
