At a conservative conference in Phoenix this week, participants said they were ready to target opponents of Trump's agenda in Washington — including fellow Republicans.

Summary

MAGA activists and speakers at the AmericaFest conference in Phoenix rejected bipartisan compromise, demanding “hyperpartisanship” to implement Trump’s agenda.

Bannon derided House Speaker Mike Johnson’s efforts to prevent a government shutdown, while Trump Jr. urged targeting Republicans who oppose his father’s policies, calling the GOP the “America First party.”

With Trump-backed Cabinet picks facing scrutiny and slim congressional majorities, tensions remain high.

Critics warn the MAGA movement’s hardline stance could hinder governance and deepen partisan divides as Trump prepares to take office.
