Less than two months in, Republicans have emerged as one of the biggest obstacles to Trump’s young administration, imperiling his early efforts to pass his agenda and make good on some of his biggest campaign promises. Trump insisted on Friday that he is leading a party that is coalescing behind him. “I think we have a very unified party. I think actually more unified than even the election,” he said at a White House news conference. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais))
