President Trump wanted his signature tax and spending legislation, dubbed the Big Beautiful Bill (sorry, Chuck Schumer—we're still going to call it that) to be on his desk by Independence Day, and despite the measure passing a number of hurdles (including a tie Senate vote that was broken by Vice President JD Vance), it’s still not guaranteed passage. Of course, not a single Democrat will vote for it in the House, but a number of GOP holdouts have issues with some of the changes the Senate made to provisions as well.

Not only that, a number of lawmakers are having trouble even getting to Washington, D.C., because of weather issues.

Many members had already returned to their districts and are now scrambling to return. But over 200 flights into Reagan National Airport were either cancelled or delayed Tuesday, according to the flight-tracking service FlightAware.

Members in some cases are opting for a long road trip back into town before 9 a.m. Wednesday, the earliest voting is expected to begin.

Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) hosted a virtual town hall at the beginning of what he said was a 14-hour drive from his suburban Chicago home to Washington.

Enough members arrived to weigh in on a procedural vote in the Rules Committee. The bill advanced by a narrow 7-6 tally. 

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) got there:

Meanwhile, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is trying to rally the troops:

With just hours until they want to start voting, House Republican leaders and White House officials have launched an all-hands-on-deck push Wednesday to get the GOP megabill through the House and to President Donald Trump’s desk.

Several groups of House Republican lawmakers who have aired grievances with the Senate-passed version of the domestic policy poll are meeting Wednesday morning, and Speaker Mike Johnson is making his way through those groups — including speaking with a particularly crucial group of conservative hard-liners.

This is how House Republicans will keep the promises we made. We look forward to delivering the One Big Beautiful Bill to the President’s desk by July 4th.

Meanwhile, Trump has summoned holdouts to the White House to convince them of the importance of passing the measure:

The president and the GOP have a lot on the line with this bill. If it passes, it will add to the remarkable list of wins he’s racked up on the economy, in the courts, and in international dealings in recent days. If it fails, it will damage his ability to implement many of the signature priorities that he promised as a candidate.
