Republican leaders of the Republicans of the Republicans have problems convincing the holdout within their own party to support a massive draft law in order to promote a large part of President Trump's domestic agenda. On Tuesday, Trump will travel to Capitol Hill that will test his ability to bend the Republican party according to his will.

It is rare that a single draft law complies with the majority of a president's legislative agenda, but Trump insisted that the Republicans in the congress consist of tax cuts, expenses, deregulation and an increase in border security financing in a so -called “a large, beautiful legislative template”.

The letter of legal provisions that meets these claims has exposed cracks within the house and the Senate conducted by GOP, which fully derail the law.

After a handful of Republican members had a budget committee on Friday, the GOP leaders from House spent the weekend with holdouts to get closer to the consensus.

The same committee promoted the draft law late on Sunday evening – with the original holdouts “present”.

The Republican Republican of Texas, Chip Roy, said that he had “chosen respect for the Republican conference and the president to advance the draft law”.

Roy and its members of Freedom Freedom Caucus left the coordination that they were made progress, but they have to see more concessions in order to support the legislation later this week in the votes.

Trump may come to Capitol Hill on Tuesday, but the leadership of House has long praised him for being involved and available throughout the legislative procedure.

“Every step of the way, if there were questions, had to be made as final decisions, [President Trump] Was always a call away, “the majority of the house majority, Steve Scalisue, R-La., To report last week.” And he will continue to be. “

Trump has promised to extend the tax cuts from his first term and add new ones, including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime and no tax on social security. These cuts have contributed to the costs of the invoice.

He was less promoted about how the legislation should be paid or how long provisions should take – and he did not take any page in the debate between the House's GOP fractions.

The leaders of Trump and GOP have to convince three main groups to support the legislative template of House Speaker Mike Johnson's self -imposed period at the Memorial Day:

Members of the Freedom Caucus say that the invoice does not lead to a significant reduction in the deficit. They secured some concessions – namely the acceleration of the implementation of the work requirements for Medicaid – but this frustrated the members, which feared that the existing house could be threatened coverage for more than 8.6 million people who are inscribed in the program and an important problem in the next year. The Salt advocates are also generally with the hard-line cost of cost.

Two former Trump helpers who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not justified to describe private conversations described Trump as very convincing in one-on-one discussions and called him the “ultimate narrow”, which makes it difficult for the members to say no.

Trump recently increased the pressure on the holding outs in his party on social media and asked his party to unite behind the bill – and to warn the holdouts.

“We don't need” stands “in the Republican Party,” said Trump in the post office.
