Trump facing bleak future as GOP 'retirement caucus' defections grow beyond his control

Following a pair of losses in the House where a smattering of Republican lawmakers joined with Democrats to push back against Donald Trump initiatives that are near and dear to his heart, the president can expect more blows to his agenda according to GOP House members.

According to Politico reporter Meredith Lee Hill, Republicans' razor-thin House majority leaves them vulnerable to coordinated opposition. Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) and Rep. Tom Massie (R-KY) both highlighted how the narrow GOP margin magnifies the impact of defections.
