The House Rules Committee came together early Wednesday to consider the GOP-led “big, beautiful” spending bill filled with President Trump’s legislative priorities.
There have been two major hurdles to advancing the legislation: the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap and cuts to Medicaid.
Trump met with House Republicans Tuesday to convince hardliners to vote in favor of the reconciliation package. Later the same day, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and moderate Republicans zeroed in on a SALT agreement, three sources told The Hill, solving one critical hang-up.
Lawmakers convened at 1 a.m. EDT.
