A group of four Republican senators may challenge President Trump's legislative agenda in the Senate, which has a Republican majority of 53 to 47. This group includes Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and John Curtis. McConnell, despite past conflicts with Trump, remains influential and could push for Ukraine funding in spending bills. Collins and Murkowski, both moderate Republicans, have previously opposed Trump and voted to impeach him after the January 6 riot. John Curtis, a moderate aligned with Trump critics, has also indicated he will not support Trump unconditionally. This coalition could hinder Trump's plans in the Senate.
