Republican lawmakers face internal discord as they race to pass President Trump’s proposed tax and spending legislation by Speaker Mike Johnson’s Memorial Day target. Factions within the party have drawn hard lines on budget cuts and revenue clawbacks, creating potential roadblocks.

Key opposition stems from fiscal conservatives like Reps. Chip Roy (R-TX), Andrew Clyde (R-GA), and Lloyd Smucker (R-PA), who demand deeper spending reductions to offset projected revenue declines. The current draft allocates a minimum $1.5 trillion, but budget hawks argue this fails to address the deficit impact.
