Trump's big bill teeters as House conservatives say it's not brutal enough

Trump’s big bill teeters as House conservatives demand more changes

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Mike Johnson acknowledged there are still details to “iron out” on President Donald Trump’s big tax breaks bill as conservative Republicans insist on quicker cuts to Medicaid and green energy programs before giving their full support.

House Republicans narrowly advanced the sprawling 1,116-page package in a rare weekend vote late Sunday, but just barely, as GOP leaders promise more negotiations ahead.

It’s all setting up a difficult week ahead for the GOP leadership racing toward a Memorial Day deadline, a week away, to pass the package from the House on their own, over staunch opposition from Democrats.

“The bill does not yet meet the moment,” said Rep. Buffalo Chip Roy, R-Texas, a leader of the House Freedom Caucus, in a social media post immediately after the late-night session. “We can and must do better before we pass the final product.”
