President Donald Trump’s agenda has been thrown into chaos after a group of GOP hardliners blocked the bill in a key committee vote on Friday – dealing a major embarrassment to House Republican leaders and Trump himself.

“GOP leaders must follow strict budgetary rules as they draft the package because they plan to pass it without using Democratic votes — forcing the party to comply with Senate rules that allow a bill to bypass a filibuster.”
“Roy and Norman were among four GOP hardliners who signaled on Friday they would refuse to pass the bill unless Johnson agreed to stricter overhauls for Medicaid and deeper cuts to a clean energy tax program — enough to tank the bill in that critical committee vote.”
Unfortunately it is likely to be a minor setback. They will eventually fold, after ensuring they maximise their offered bribes. Corruption rules with GOP🙄
Don’t start rejoicing yet. This just means that the bill likely will get worse unless Repubs realize that a compromise bill with Dems is needed to get the bill over the transom.
JFC - @borissanchezcnn.bsky.social give her a chance to answer. I’m a Democrat who really dislikes Rep. Malliotakis, but you just talked over her. Chill out dude and let her answer.
Trump, himself, is a MAJOR embarrassment. It's LONG past time he was made aware of that. Today, alone, he has posted derogatory comments about Celebrities from the USA who are GLOBAL Superstars. Something he WILL never be.
Only reason it didn’t pass was because there was not enough pain inflicted in that one! They will make changes so that the poor and infirm will be dealt blows to their wellbeing! Psychopath’s!
Tappers such a dumb fuck and Bash can take a
Flying fuck somewhere. So embarrassing. Never liked her but he was human in 16-18 or so and he doesn’t even realize it. @jaketapper.bsky.social get bent. Your legacy is almost as bad as John Roberts….. oh wait.
A lot of people are happy there's no progress, it's a shit bill. 3 months ago Republicans couldn't scream loud enough about how the debt is to high. Unleashed Elon to root out the fraud and waste. Now they want to increase the debt another $4 trillion so they can give tax cuts to the wealthy. FFS
We’ve already been through this. Remember Schumer caving? Remember the GOP sending everyone home and then voting without the people opposing them? They don’t care. They’ll find a way through it.
The committee vote failed because the five Republicans want MORE cuts to SNAP and Medicaid to allow the re-establishment of State and Local Tax (SALT) federal income tax deductibility, which generally benefits only high-income homeowners in high-property-tax states
That is most certainly the case after reading the article. One republican rep went on to say that those republicans who voted against it just voted for an increase on taxes as if that makes any fucking sense at all. I'm so tired of republicans ruining everything and saying they are doing good.
Left leaning in Trump speak = Reports facts - even the inconvenient truth. So CNN is going to help spread Trumps lies and stop reporting when the administration breaks the law or lies ?
Let's be clear here. This is being held up by hardliners who want to carve even more out of Medicaid and from federal clean energy programs. Essentially, they're saying that the bill is not cruel enough to average Americans.
NOT BRIBED ENOUGH IT WILL PASS EITHER UNDER CLOAK OF DARKNESS OR NEXT WEEK WATCH!! ITS ABT MONEY nothing else THE PEOPLE B DAMNED! Every last 1 need 2 lose their jobs materialistic
sh!t all of it until they're all in abject PROVERTY since they're trying their DAMNDEST 2 drive the rest of us there!
It’s interesting to see how the dynamics within the party can shift so quickly. This could be a turning point for Trump’s influence. Can he rally his supporters, or is this just the first of many hurdles ahead?
An angrier person for sure so let’s see how he retaliates to the GOP hardliners. Probable comments; “they’re losers”,
“I’m the reason they were elected.” “Maybe I’ll build a
big beautiful guillotine.” “I’ll stop these hardliners day one.” “it’s Biden fault.” “Check their birth certificates. “👍🇺🇸

That is why it failed. They want more!
There is not enough inhumane treatment of Americans for "hard-line" GOP members.
GOP have no interest in helping regular Americans.
I bet they all change their votes inexplicably
