House Republicans, after days of opposition, agreed to advance President Trump's tax and spending bill. Hardliners and moderates initially opposed the $3.3 trillion deficit increase and Medicaid cuts. The House cleared a procedural hurdle with a 219-213 vote, one Republican dissenting. Trump and his team engaged in intense negotiations with holdouts, including White House meetings. Final passage is expected, but the narrow margin leaves little room for error. The bill aims to fulfill Trump's promises on border security, tax policy, and spending cuts, but faces continued resistance from some conservatives.
