Trump's sway shows new limits inside GOP: The Note

Many Republican elected officials developed selective hearing and Tweet-reading in choosing when and how to respond to Donald Trump when he was president.

It's a skill that remains on display in his post-presidency. For all the spot-on talk of how Republicans fear crossing Trump, signs of defiance or simply ignoring his statements have emerged anew inside the GOP.

President Joe Biden got to hold a bipartisan signing of the infrastructure bill Monday, where he thanked Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for his leadership and where he received praise from a Republican senator.
