Senator John Thune, the influential Republican majority leader, finds himself in a difficult position as he navigates the fierce intraparty debate over a high-stakes voting bill. On one side, former President Trump and the far-right faction of the party are demanding a no-holds-barred fight against the legislation. On the other, more moderate Republicans are pushing for a measured approach that avoids further deepening the partisan divide.
The clash has created the first significant blowback of Thune's tenure as majority leader, testing his ability to balance the competing interests within his party.
