The reconciliation process, often used by parties with unified control to pass major legislation in their first two years, is now being employed by Republicans. However, past instances show that this process is not guaranteed to succeed, as seen with the failed attempt to repeal Obamacare under Trump's presidency. This time, a slim majority and the lack of publicly released specific plans increase the risks of failure.
