Trump’s Hill Visit Could Rally or Fracture GOP on DHS and Housing Talks

Trump headlines a GOP dinner on Capitol Hill as House and Senate Republicans wrestle with a DHS funding deal and a housing affordability stalemate, with Trump yet to publicly back a framework and leaders unsure of votes or timing. The day’s coverage also includes a bipartisan push to bar members of Congress from trading on prediction markets (the PREDICT Act) and ongoing debates over a second reconciliation package to fund defense, homeland security, and immigration policies, alongside discussions of a potential 18-month extension of the Section 702 surveillance program and related tax/energy policy moves. Meanwhile, leadership turnover and interparty dynamics continue to shape whether a unified GOP agenda can advance before upcoming deadlines.
