Democratic Senator Cory Booker stated on ABC News that he anticipates increased Republican opposition to President Donald Trump's policies, particularly following Trump's recent push for a $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund. This fund, which would allow individuals claiming victimization by the government to seek compensation, has faced legal challenges, including a temporary block by a federal judge. Booker criticized Trump for undermining democratic values, stating, 'We fought a revolution to stop exactly this.' He also condemned Trump's decision to have his name associated with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which has been ordered to remove it by a judge. Notably, Booker mentioned that many Republicans privately express their discontent with Trump's behavior, especially after Trump-backed candidates defeated several Republican incumbents in recent primaries. He warned that Trump's actions, including the proposal to feature his image on a special $250 bill for the country's 250th anniversary, reflect a troubling trend of prioritizing the president over American history. 'He’s a divider-in-chief,' Booker said, urging a return to the principle that the power of the people is greater than that of those in power.
