CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten made a surprising admission on Monday, stating that President-elect Donald Trump will likely have an easy time passing legislation due to the current makeup of the Republican Party. This revelation came during a segment on “CNN News Central,” where Enten pointed out the dwindling number of Republicans who voted to impeach or convict Trump, signaling a shift in the party’s loyalty to the president.
“It’s Donald Trump’s party and his GOP opponents can cry if they want to,” Enten began, using the words of deceased singer Lesley Gore. He went on to highlight the decrease in the number of Republicans who previously opposed Trump, noting that “now just five of ‘em … remain in Congress.” This, in Enten’s opinion, gives Trump free rein to push through his legislative agenda.
Enten’s co-host, Sara Sidner, also asked him how Republican voters currently feel about Trump. His response? An astonishing 96% of Republicans approve of Trump, leaving practically no room for opposition within the party. “There are no GOP opponents in the United States Congress. This is Trump’s party,” Enten declared, echoing the sentiments of Republican Utah Senator Mitt Romney.
Speaking of Romney, he recently gave credit to Trump for transforming the Republican Party with his Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. During his appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, Romney stated, “MAGA is the Republican Party and Donald Trump is the Republican Party today.” He also predicted that Vice President-elect JD Vance would be the Republican nominee in 2028, citing his intelligence and alliance with the MAGA movement.
Enten’s comments and Romney’s admission paint a clear picture of the GOP’s loyalty to Trump and the MAGA movement. With a stronghold on both the Senate and the House, Trump is now in a prime position to pass legislation with relative ease. This news comes as a welcome surprise to Trump supporters who have been watching the liberal media and Democrats attempt to discredit and remove the president from power.
In a remarkable turn of events, Trump’s presidency is now more secure than ever before, thanks to the unwavering support of the Republican Party. The media’s attempts to vilify and undermine the president have failed, and Trump’s dominance over the GOP has been solidified. With this newfound power and loyalty, the sky’s the limit for what President Trump can achieve in his second term.
