'resent' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'move coming about for one republican' is the wordplay.
'move coming' becomes 'budge' (to budge is to move slightly. I am not sure about the 'coming' bit.).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'for one' becomes 'eg' (both can mean 'for example').
'republican' becomes 'R' (abbreviation in US politics).
'eg'+'r'='egr'
'budge' placed around 'egr' is 'BEGRUDGE'.
