In the Republican factions duel about Trump's tax law

Spokesman Mike Johnson, shortly before the voices for a megabill to give the agenda of President Trump, looked around the conference table in his artistic office in Capitol and faced a pack of annoyed republicans and asked each other.

There were representatives of Chip Roy, the congress member in Texas, who insisted that the law template Medicaid contained steep cuts. And there was representative Andrew Garbarino, the New Yorker, who committed to an invoice to reduce the cover of Medicaid for his voters.

The representative Nick Lalota from New York, who has explained that the rollback from the bidding era, which is clean energy tax credits, goes too far. The representative Andy Harris from Maryland, who asked the Republican leaders, was fully lifted these tax benefits.

The tableau of the participants, who were charged by Mr. Johnson at the end of last week, when he tried to collect support for what Mr. Trump described as a “large, beautiful draft law”, encapsulated the precarious change of change with which the speaker is confronted when he creates the extensive tax and budget legislation by the house. The political groups are very different, competing priorities for the most important parts of the domestic politics package and include the different ideological, political and regional interests inside the GOP

For each block with a claim that must be met before its members agree to the measure to support the measure, another demands the opposite.

And with his tiny control margins, Mr. Johnson can afford to lose only three Republicans on the bill, which is rejected by Democrats uniformly when all members are present and vote. The situation explains why the legislation has stalled in a key committee last week, how difficult it will be for the Republicans to push it through the house in good time in order to adhere to a self-imposed period for the day of remembrance, and why it is exposed to the Senate in front of an unknown fate.
