3 sticky problems faced by Trump’s big bill – and how GOP managers try to resolve them

By Sahil Kapur

It is a huge week for the Republicans of the Chamber as they seek to adopt a massive bill on the agenda of President Donald Trump thanks to their close majority according to the parties of the party, while various factions of retained continue to demand changes.

Gop leaders has eliminated an important obstacle Late Sunday evening, when four conservative hard-liners of the Chamber’s Budget Committee gave in and allowed the bill to move forward after having blocked it two days earlier. Now, the package goes to the rules committee, where party leaders want to make changes and meet on Wednesday at 1 a.m. to send it to the ground.

And Trump gets involved in the final push before the Memorial Day deadline by President Mike Johnson: he should join a House Republican Conference Meeting Tuesday morning.

Medicaid cuts and limits: The conservatives complained about the provisions of the bill which benefit the frontal charge and delay the discounts of expenditure. This includes Medicaid cuts – in the form of strictest work needs that were to start in 2029, among others. To appease the restrained on the right, this date will pass at the beginning of 2027, the head of the majority of the Steve Scalie Chamber, R-La., Said on Monday on CNBC.

But would it cost votes among more moderate Republicans? SCALISE has not guaranteed that they would remain on board, saying only that leadership “talks about all these members”, and that “everyone knew that it was something on which we worked”.

It will be a difficult balance to find because the Republicans of the Swing District already face political attacks against the Medicaid cuts.

Clean energy cuts: There is a similar dilemma on clean energy financing cuts. The legislation repeals the main elements of the law on the reduction of inflation, which the Democrats adopted in 2022 according to the parties, which provide funding and tax credits to promote clean energy

But the conservatives want to be more aggressive to reduce the money back, in part to reduce the additional red ink under the invoice. The problem is that many funds benefit the red and purple districts represented by the Republicans. And politically threatened members do not like to take funds. GOP leaders must find a way to appease both factions.

Salt deduction: The state and local tax deduction may have become the greatest nuisance for party leaders. This is a unique problem because a group of Blue State Republicans insisted on a significant expansion of the salt deduction of $ 10,000 per income file, which the party instituted in 2017.

The main Republicans proposed to raise it at $ 30,000, but that is not enough for a handful of members who made a red line to win their support for the bill. The increase in deduction is expensive and the risks alienating not only ultra-conservative members, but other central-right republicans in districts where salt is not a big problem.

Representative Nick Lalota, Rn.y., the most noisy gop voice recommending a greater deduction of salt, even suggested increase in marginal tax rates On the rich to help finance it. This idea is strongly opposed to a lot of the party.

Trump operates his most reliable officials to make up to four jobs – at the same time

By Peter Nicholas and Megan Shannon

President Donald Trump has taken some members of the cabinet and senior administration officials and has superimposed additional work that calls for entirely different skills.

Double publications give birth to a tangle of managerial challenges, constitutional questions and conflicts of potential interests, according to criticism.

Jamieson Greer: As a representative of American trade, Greer has stolen worldwide to negotiate with the countries on the prices that the president has imposed. In addition to that, he is the government’s official watchdog. The White House appointed Greer both interim director of the government’s ethics office and head of the special council office.

Daniel Driscoll: He is not only secretary of the army, but the acting director of the alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives office. The first job is to keep the soldiers in the fight against garnishes; The second includes the reduction of smuggling cigarettes.

Marco Rubio: His titles include the Secretary of State, the National Security Advisor and the acting chief of the National Archives and Records Administration. He is also the acting administrator of the American agency for international development – or what remains of it after the Trump administration has actually dismantled it.

White todd: In addition to being an assistant prosecutor, Trump recently appointed Blanche as actor of the Congress Library. The Ministry of Justice confirms the laws and advances Trump’s agenda; The library is supposed to give legislators the independent research they ask for.
