Trump Influence Seen as GOP House Votes Shift on Bill
Negotiations between Republican holdouts and the White House regarding the GOP’s reconciliation bill appeared to be softening on Wednesday. The administration sought to ease opponents’ concerns by promising fixes through executive actions or future legislation. Discussions were ongoing, with some House members signaling a shift in their positions. Key sticking points included deficit spending, provisions impacting undocumented immigrants, and gender-affirming care. While leaders expressed optimism, a vote on the bill was delayed as negotiations continued to secure the necessary votes.
