0:35Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump is meeting with a faction of conservative lawmakers at the White House who have threatened to sink his signature tax legislation over its $3.4 trillion price tag as lawmakers cast doubt on whether it can pass by July 4.
The president’s ambitious timeline to pass the bill is encountering considerable opposition as moderate and ultraconservative Republican lawmakers threaten to defy him and perhaps frustrate his domestic agenda. House lawmakers returned to Washington Wednesday to vote on the Senate version of the measure, which passed the upper chamber 51-50 on Tuesday with Vice President JD Vance’s tie-breaking vote.
House leaders plan to hold a procedural vote to advance the legislation on Wednesday, with the goal of sending it to the president by Friday for his signature.
Several House lawmakers, including Texas Representative Chip Roy and Representative Ralph Norman of South Carolina, predicted the first procedural vote would fail. Members openly defying the president could inflame already-tense relationships between some Republicans and the White House.
