Republican deficit hawks allowed President Trump’s bill of legislative priorities to advance out of the House Budget Committee in an unusual late-night vote on Sunday, marking a key hurdle cleared

Republicans in Congress have an incredibly slim majority to pass a funding bill for a Trump-led agenda that includes cutting taxes, boosting immigration enforcement, and shrinking other programs.

The budget bill Donald Trump was hoping to come home to following his trip to the Middle East has not come to fruition and the longer it takes to work out, the more skittish Republicans will be about attaching their name to a bill that is so full of unpopular policies with an election on the horizon.

Lawmakers from the president's own party joined all Democrats to reject a key domestic bill, demanding deeper budget cuts.

Republicans in Congress have big plans for the “one big, beautiful bill,” which will affect not only tax rates and exemptions but also how people file their taxes. The GOP was irked last year by an Internal Revenue Service announcement that it would make Direct File permanent.

In a setback for Donald Trump, his fellow Republicans in House of Representatives have failed to pass the president's "big, beautiful" package of tax breaks and spending cuts, starkly exposing the party's budgetary divisions.
