Don’t count on the budget reconciliation bill passing the House today. That appeared to be the message from leading House Freedom Caucus members, who said they were working on a deal with the White House and House GOP leadership.
“We are greatly encouraged by the progress that’s been made in the last 24 hours,” said House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, R-Md.
The entire Republican conference met with President Donald Trump at the Capitol on Tuesday, where he encouraged them to wrap up negotiations on his “big, beautiful bill,” which would fulfill campaign promises such as extending his first-term 2017 tax cuts and funding border security.
