A group of House Republicans huddled with President Donald Trump at the White House on Wednesday afternoon to reach a resolution for the “one big, beautiful bill.”
Included in the meeting, which came one day after Trump visited Capitol Hill to advocate for the legislation, were House GOP leaders as well as members of the conservative Freedom Caucus who are pushing for more extensive spending cuts in exchange for their support. With a slim House majority and near-certain Democrat opposition, Republicans can likely afford only a few defectors to send the bill to the Senate.
“The meeting was productive and moved the ball in the right direction. The President reiterated how critical it is for the country to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill as quickly as possible,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.
