Congressinal GOP gets ready for a Trump presidency

Axkios - Republicans in Congress — savoring the potential return of former President Trump — are already laying the groundwork to quickly turn some of his 2025 plans into the law of the land. The bills include plans to crack down on mask mandates, affirmative action and who can become a U.S. citizen....

  • Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) and Vance this week introduced a bill to create a federal office [subscription] to investigate claims of colleges using affirmative action in admissions.
  • Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), another Trump loyalist, has joined Vance in proposing bills that would make gender-affirming care for minors a felony, another priority on the far right's social agenda.
  • Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) introduced legislation to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants after Trump vowed to sign an executive order to do the same on his first day back-in-office day.
  • Vance introduced a bill to eliminate EV subsidies shortly after Trump railed against them at an auto plant in Detroit.
