A massive Republican bill designed to advance former President Trump's domestic agenda is facing major hurdles in Congress.
The legislation proposes significant tax cuts and increased funding for defense and immigration enforcement, but would pay for these by making deep cuts to health care, nutrition, education, and clean energy programs. Internal divisions among House Republicans threaten the bill's passage, with hardliners demanding faster Medicaid cuts and moderates seeking larger state and local tax (SALT) deductions. Speaker Mike Johnson is attempting to broker a compromise to unite the party's factions.
The outcome of the upcoming Budget Committee vote will be critical for the bill's future.
