US EditionJohnson attempts to hold together fragile GOP coalition ahead of key committee votes on Trump agenda
- House Speaker Mike Johnson is working to maintain GOP unity ahead of key committee votes on Trump's tax and spending package by Memorial Day.
- The package aims to extend 2017 tax breaks costing $4.9 trillion by offsetting them with $880 billion to $1.5 trillion in savings from Medicaid, SNAP, and green energy cuts.
- The proposal includes Medicaid work requirements, $35 co-pays, SNAP work expansions, shifting costs to states, and substantial reductions in green energy tax breaks.
- A nonpartisan projection estimates that 8.6 million fewer Americans would have health coverage, while Senator Josh Hawley condemned reducing Medicaid funding to fund tax cuts as ethically unacceptable and a grave political mistake.
- Johnson faces opposition from moderates and hardliners like Chip Roy and Elise Stefanik, making near-complete GOP unity necessary to pass the contentious bill amid warnings a revolt could derail the agenda.
