GOP Lawmakers Summoned to White House Amid Tax Bill Revolt
President Donald TRUMP has called a strategic meeting with House Republicans at the White House, aiming to secure support for his administration's contentious tax and spending package. The legislation faces mounting opposition from within the Republican Party, particularly from the conservative House Freedom Caucus, which demands significant amendments before backing the bill.
Freedom Caucus members, including Representative Ralph Norman, have criticized the Senate's version of the bill for deviating from agreed-upon spending offsets. Chairman Andy Harris has warned that without revisions, the group will oppose the procedural vote necessary to advance the bill to debate, potentially derailing the President's timeline for passage before the July 4 holiday.
