House Leadership plans to rely on one person to get the reconciliation bill over the line: President Donald Trump.
Currently, the House is nowhere close to passing Trump’s “One Big, Beautiful Bill.” There are moderates who don’t want Medicaid cuts and conservatives who want more Medicaid cuts. There are blue-state Republicans who want an increase in the state and local tax deduction and conservatives who don’t want an increase in SALT, just to name a few issues.
But Republican leadership is confident that Trump can do what he’s done in the past: make phone calls and twist arms until the bill passes.
