NextImg:House Republicans stumble, fail to advance reconciliation package

A faction of hardline Republicans sank an attempt to advance President Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill,” a major blow to the House GOP’s plan to pass the colossal package next week. 

The House Budget Committee failed to move it on Friday after hardliners from the House Freedom Caucus stood firm on their promise to vote against advancing the measure out of committee in pursuit of firmer commitments on deep spending cuts. 

Their resistance comes after Mr. Trump demanded they fall in line behind his legislative agenda. 



The package failed 21 to 16, with Republican Reps. Chip Roy of Texas and Ralph Norman of South Carolina, Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma and Andrew Clyde of Georgia voting with all Democrats on the panel against it. 

Another Republican, Rep. Lloyd Smucker of Pennsylvania, switched his vote from yes to no in order to bring the bill back at a later time.
