US EditionHouse Budget Committee rejects Trump agenda bill in major setback for GOP leaders
- House Republicans failed to pass their tax and spending package through the Budget Committee on Friday in Washington, marking a setback for GOP leaders.
- The failure occurred because hard-right lawmakers demanded deeper Medicaid cuts and reversals of Biden-era green energy tax breaks before supporting the bill.
- The 1,116-page bill proposes tripling state and local tax deductions, adds over $46 billion for a border wall, and includes steep health and food assistance cuts.
- The vote failed 16-21, with five Republicans joining Democrats to oppose the package, which would slash more than $1 trillion from programs and potentially remove 7.6 million insured individuals according to the CBO.
- The stalled bill delays Speaker Mike Johnson's effort to approve it next week, while lawmakers plan weekend negotiations and the Budget Committee aims to retry the vote Sunday.
