After State of the Union, Trump’s agenda faces new political reality

Trump delivers triumphant State of the Union tone but faces renewed legal challenges and political hurdles as Congress weighs his agenda ahead of midterms.

He touts policy aims while Senate and House Republicans navigate investigations, court rulings, and potential defections that could complicate legislative wins.

Analysts say tough road ahead for advancing his priorities without broad bipartisan support or durable legal and political momentum.
