GOP Struggles to Finalize Bill Amid Tax and Spending Disputes | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Can House Republicans finally get the one big, beautiful bill over the finish line? For hours, the House Rules Committee worked to prepare the bill for floor action, following a closed-door meeting between several conservative Republicans and GOP leadership, who met with President Donald Trump to try to seal the deal. Yet, key sticking points remain—most notably the issue of state and local tax deductions. Some argue the bill has only gotten worse, saying the SALT cap increase frustrated many conservatives who were pushing for spending cuts. Democrats offered hundreds of amendments, with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries warning that the bill’s Medicaid cuts would negatively impact millions. Other proposed amendments aimed to prevent cuts to food assistance programs like SNAP. Despite the controversy, some Republicans believe this may be the best deal possible under the current circumstances. ------------- EWTN News Nightly airs on EWTN weekdays at 6pm & 9pm ET. ------------ Don't miss an episode of EWTN New Nightly.
