President Donald Trump's demand to cancel August recess is putting vulnerable Republicans in an impossible spot ahead of the midterms, as they risk losing seats if they refuse to comply with his request. The looming recess break has created a tight deadline for lawmakers to make decisions on key issues, and many are struggling to balance their loyalty to Trump with their own party's interests.
