A major legislative package combining President Trump's top priorities is facing stiff resistance from hard-line conservatives in the House Budget Committee.
Despite pressure from Trump to unite and pass the bill, several Republican members are threatening to block it, demanding deeper spending cuts. The internal GOP split has thrown the fate of the 'one big beautiful' reconciliation bill into doubt, with key votes hanging in the balance. The standoff highlights ongoing divisions within the party over fiscal policy and government spending.
If the dissent continues, the legislation could fail to advance, dealing a blow to Trump's legislative agenda.
