A major split among Republicans in Congress has emerged as Moody’s downgraded the US government’s credit rating, citing concerns over rising debt and lack of fiscal discipline.
The downgrade coincided with hard-right Republicans blocking President Trump’s signature tax overhaul, highlighting deep divisions within the party over spending and debt. Some Republicans see the downgrade as a wake-up call to address fiscal issues, while others question its timing and motives.

The outcome will have significant implications for both the Republican agenda and the US economy.
