Veteran political analyst Britt Hume said Wednesday on Fox News that President-elect Donald Trump’s ability to enact his agenda could be complicated by his party’s slim majority in Congress. He said that there is.
Monaka exterior Speaking on his “Special Report with Bret Baier,” Hume highlighted the importance of Trump’s party’s slim majorities in both houses of Congress, calling for unity to advance legislative priorities. He said it was extremely important to maintain it. Hume also said that although Trump entered office with the highest approval rating of his political career (up to 50%), this support remains fragile.
“It’s worth noting that his approval rating is the highest it’s ever been, but it’s only a majority of 50. And the majority believes that his election is not about him, but about resistance and Joe Biden. It is thought that this was due to a desire to eliminate So, you know, he’s heavily influenced here by the fact that his party has a majority in both houses of Congress, which makes his path a lot easier. ,” Hume told Bret Baier.
“But there’s also a very small majority there. So the challenge for him is that you put all of this together and it’s so thin in terms of the size of his support that support for him is going to be very thin right away.” It’s going to advance his agenda in an atmosphere that I think has the potential to fade.”
Hume said there has been less opposition than expected so far in the confirmation process for President Trump’s nominees. Candidates like Pete Hegseth have overcome initial resistance, especially after Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa endorsed him.

“Previous candidates’ resistance appears to have crumbled, at least in the hearings so far, but especially in the case of Pete Hegseth, after he was attacked in yesterday’s testimony,” Hume said. Said. “But at the end of the day, of course Joni Ernst is a veteran herself and I think a lot of Republicans were looking for leadership on this nomination. Once she said she was on his side, there was resistance there. It seems like the feeling has faded.”
