US EditionHouse Budget Committee rejects Trump agenda bill in major setback for GOP leaders
- House Republicans failed to pass a large tax cut and spending reform bill in the Budget Committee on Friday, in Washington, D.C.
- The core failure stemmed from hard-right conservatives demanding deeper Medicaid and green energy tax break cuts, causing clashes within the GOP.
- The package seeks to extend 2017 tax cuts, increase state and local tax deductions, reduce health and food aid by over $1 trillion, and impose work requirements.

- The failure delays Speaker Mike Johnson's plan to approve the bill next week, but negotiators aim to reconvene Sunday and continue talks over the weekend.
