House Speaker Mike Johnson is urgently pushing to pass a major budget bill before Memorial Day, despite internal divisions among Republicans.
The legislation, described as a 'historic' and 'big beautiful bill,' faces resistance from fiscal conservatives, particularly over issues like Medicaid work requirements. Johnson is working to address these concerns and rally support to ensure the bill reaches the House floor for a vote. The outcome is seen as a key test of GOP unity and Johnson's leadership.
Lawmakers are set to vote late Sunday as the deadline looms.
