President Donald Trump and House Republicans are racing to secure enough votes for a sweeping legislative package that combines major tax cuts with other key priorities.
The bill, which is central to Trump's agenda, faces internal GOP disagreements over issues like Medicaid and tax deductions. Despite efforts to rally support, a new report warns that the proposed tax breaks could significantly increase the federal deficit. Investors and lawmakers alike are closely watching the outcome, as the bill's passage could have wide-ranging economic and political implications.
The House is expected to hold a crucial vote soon, with the outcome still uncertain.
