US EditionHouse Republicans push to pass Trump's spending bill amid internal dissent
- House Republicans voted early Thursday to advance President Donald Trump's $4.5 trillion tax and spending cuts package following a narrow Senate passage on Wednesday.
- Republican divisions arose due to Senate changes adding $750 billion to the deficit and Medicaid cuts, causing some conservatives and moderates to balk at the Senate version.
- On Wednesday morning, protesters known as the 'Wednesday Warriors' gathered in Newport News to oppose the bill's proposed cuts to Medicaid, education, and SNAP, part of a larger national movement.
- Speaker Mike Johnson said he remains optimistic after meeting many groups and individuals throughout Wednesday, declaring, "Our way is to plow through and get it done."
- The vote aims to meet Trump's July 4 deadline, but ongoing dissent and requested changes from the Freedom Caucus risk delaying final passage despite unified Democratic opposition.
