  Incoming Senate GOP leader John Thune wants to pass two bills: border and energy policy in one and tax cuts in a second. The House's top tax writer is pushing for one big package.

The article from NBC News discusses the internal divisions among top Republicans regarding the strategy to advance former President Donald Trump's agenda for a potential second term in 2025. Key figures like House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell are at odds over legislative priorities and tactics. Johnson, aligning closely with Trump, is pushing for a robust conservative agenda, including measures on immigration, tax cuts, and deregulation, while McConnell is more focused on maintaining party unity and navigating the Senate's political landscape, which includes dealing with a slim Republican majority and the need for bipartisan cooperation. This split is evident in their differing approaches to critical issues like border security, where Johnson seeks immediate, hardline actions, and McConnell advocates for a more measured, potentially bipartisan approach. The tension highlights the broader challenge within the GOP of balancing Trump's influence with the practicalities of governance in a divided Congress.
