Republicans in the House attempted to advance President Trump's tax-cut and spending bill but were unsuccessful. While an initial procedural vote indicated some support, five Republican defectors prevented the main vote from proceeding. Trump criticized Republican leaders on social media, expressing dissatisfaction with the stalled efforts. The proposed bill includes tax breaks and increased defense spending, funded through cuts to healthcare and social services. It is described as pivotal for Trump's agenda, with significant implications for his presidency and future political standing.
"Largest Tax Cuts in History and a Booming Economy vs. Biggest Tax Increase in History, and a Failed Economy. What are the Republicans waiting for???"
"Everybody wants to get to yes," House Speaker Mike Johnson stated as Republican leaders worked to convince holdouts to support the tax-cut and spending bill.
