House Republicans are Pushing Trump's Big Bill to the Brink of Passage

1 day ago House Republicans are ready to vote on President Donald Trump’s $4.5 trillion tax breaks and spending cuts bill early Thursday. GOP leaders were up all night and the president himself worked to persuade skeptical holdouts to drop their opposition and deliver by their Fourth of July deadline. The package would extend tax breaks that would otherwise expire at year's end. To help offset lost revenue, it cuts some $1.2 trillion in Medicaid health care and food stamps programs, and rolls back green energy investments. Pushing the package this far has been difficult at every step. GOP lawmakers are going it alone over unified Democratic opposition.
