Carrie Lukas: Congress Doing ‘Delicate Dance’ with Trump as They’re Even Less Popular

EXCERPT:

LUKAS: "This is a President and Congress that haven’t always had the best relations. There is a lot of different interests. It’s interesting, as much as we talk about the President’s struggles in terms of public opinion, a lot of members of Congress actually have lower favorability ratings than the President does. So, of course, he can get away, he has a base that will support him through thick and thin. Not all members of Congress have that. So they’re doing kind of a delicate dance here, but I think it’s kind of interesting to always focus on kind of the drama between all these key players, but that’s not what the American people want to think about. I think for Republicans both in the White House and Congress, they need to start delivering the goods. It doesn’t matter if they get along, it doesn’t matter who said what about whom. They need to get something like tax reform done so that the American people and their voters and base can see they make progress together. At the end of the day, that’s what’s going to matter for their prospects."
