Trump's big bill advances in rare weekend vote, but conservatives demand more changes
Republicans advanced their massive tax cut and border security package out of a key House committee during a rare Sunday night vote. But there's more work to do. Deficit hawks who had blocked the measure two days earlier are still dissatisfied and want steeper spending cuts. While the Budget Committee advanced the package, 17-16, four of the conservatives simply voted “present” as negotiations continue. It all points to a difficult week ahead for Speaker Mike Johnson, who is determined to push the package forward in a House vote ahead of his Memorial Day deadline.
