The Republicans are grappling with broken promises and discontent over spending, while the Democrats are dealing with the fallout of a third consecutive defeat for the far-left Squad. The future of both parties remains uncertain as they navigate these choppy waters.
According to The Blaze, the Republican party, also known as the Grand Old Party, is currently dealing with the fallout of Speaker of the House Mike Johnson's (R-La.) inability to fulfill his promises. Johnson had pledged a transparent process led by committee chairs, which would reject the traditional Christmas omnibus spending package and allow members at least 72 hours to review a bill before voting. However, the process has been anything but transparent, with committee chairmen being sidelined and the package appearing to be a smaller version of the omnibus. With a looming Friday midnight deadline, the bill is barely making it under the 72-hour review period.

Conservative Republicans, such as Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), are expressing their dissatisfaction with the process, the spending, the ethanol subsidies, and the concessions made to the Democrats. More mainstream Republicans, like Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.), are frustrated that neither they nor their priorities are being considered in the negotiations. The Trump transition team is also displeased, as they will have to repeat the process in March when the funding runs out, just as they are hoping to build momentum.

Meanwhile, the Democrats are dealing with their own internal conflicts. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) recently lost her bid to lead the House Oversight Committee Democrats in the next Congress to Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.). Despite her relative newcomer status, Ocasio-Cortez's radical views and media-friendly persona have made her a significant figure within the party. However, her defeat by 131 Democrats to a candidate twice her age and battling esophagus cancer underscores the party's shift away from the far-left.
