Overview

• President Trump plans a Capitol Hill visit to push for the passage of his 'big, beautiful bill,' which narrowly advanced out of committee Sunday night.
• The bill proposes extending 2017 tax cuts, increasing border and defense funding, and introducing Medicaid work requirements, but faces GOP infighting over spending cuts.
• Hard-line conservatives demand deeper Medicaid reductions, while moderates from swing districts resist, citing potential political backlash and harm to vulnerable populations.
• Nonpartisan analysts project the bill could add over $3 trillion to the deficit, contradicting White House claims of no new debt.
• Senate Republicans, including Ron Johnson and Josh Hawley, have expressed reservations, raising doubts about the bill's chances even if it clears the House.
