House Republicans are deeply divided over President Trump's proposed bill, particularly regarding Medicaid cuts. Centrists oppose deep cuts to social safety nets, while hardliners demand trillions in spending reductions. Speaker Mike Johnson faces a pre-Memorial Day deadline, with his leadership potentially at stake. The conflict involves balancing Trump's agenda with the needs of moderate Republicans in swing districts, who fear alienating voters. Negotiations continue, focusing on Medicaid work requirements and eligibility checks, but significant disagreements remain over the overall spending cuts, jeopardizing the bill's passage.
