Trump's Bill: A Test for House Republicans

The House of Representatives is facing a tough decision. They need to vote on a major bill proposed by former President Donald Trump. This bill is all about taxes and spending. It passed the Senate, but not without some drama. The Senate session went all night, and the vice-president had to break a tie to get it approved. Now, the House has to deal with it. The speaker, Mike Johnson, is trying to keep everyone in line. But it's not easy. Some Republicans are upset about changes made in the Senate. Especially changes to Medicaid, which helps people with low incomes and disabilities. Johnson says he will "get the bill over the line. " Trump wants it done by July 4th. But there are problems. The House approved an earlier version of the bill last month. It was a close vote. Now, some Republicans are mad because the Senate version might add even more to the national debt. The bill has a lot of different things in it. It extends tax cuts from Trump's first term. It also cuts taxes on tips, overtime, and some car loans. There's money for immigration enforcement and building a border wall. But to pay for all this, the bill makes changes to Medicaid. It adds work requirements and limits on funding. It also cuts incentives for green energy. The bill is estimated to add $3. 3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade. That's a lot of money. It's a big test for House Republicans. They can't afford to lose many votes. If they do, the bill might not pass.
