MNI POLITICAL RISK - Thune Defends Two-Step 2025 Agenda

Daily round-up of news from the US.
StoryPolitical Risk

Executive summary:

  • Incoming Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has defended his two-step 2025 legislative roadmap despite concerns that House Republicans may reject the plan, fearing a carve-out of popular immigration and energy items for a skinnier bill could imperil Trump's tax agenda.
  • FBI Director Christopher Wray announced yesterday that he would step down in January, clearing the path for US President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee Kash Patel to take the job before Wray’s term expires in 2027.
  • Despite tensions over partisan policy riders, the House of Representatives passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in a bipartisan 281-140 vote.
  • Former Democrat Senators Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) and Joe Manchin (I-WV) joined Republicans to block Lauren McFerran’s renomination to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), likely handing control of the board to the GOP.
  • The Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, threatened to cut off energy supplies to US states if Trump follows through with plans to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian imports.
  • Trump reportedly took the unusual step of inviting Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend his inauguration in January.
  • US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan are in the Middle East today for meetings on a Gaza ceasefire and the future governance of Syria.
  • Poll of the Day:A month on from the presidential election, more voters feel positive than negative about the result.
