US EditionHouse works into the night as Republicans push ahead on Trump's 'big bill'
- House Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, are advancing President Trump's tax and spending bill amid marathon committee meetings this week in Washington.
- The bill aims to extend $5 trillion in tax cuts from Trump's first term but faces internal GOP disputes over Medicaid cuts and concerns from both conservatives and moderates.
- The package includes more than $700 billion in healthcare reductions, primarily by imposing new Medicaid work requirements starting in 2029 and cutting food aid by $290 billion.
- Speaker Johnson said, "The bill is almost in final form" and expressed optimism about securing votes despite opposition from fiscal hawks and members in liberal districts.
- If passed by the House next week, the bill will move to the Senate, but its fate remains uncertain due to ongoing GOP resistance and Democratic criticism over deficit and coverage loss.
