House GOP pushes Trump's “big, nice bill” after the all-night

Washington – The house is progressing in the areas “One, Big Beautiful Bill” by President Trump when three committees voted on Wednesday to drive some of the most controversial parts of the large budget package to combat defense, energy and tax priorities of the President.

The Ways and Means, Energy and Commerce and Agriculture Committees met on Tuesday and Wednesday to discuss and vote their suggestions, since the Republicans remained divided into a number of important questions – from Medicaid to tax cuts.

Paths and funds are faced with salt conflicts

After an almost 18-hour surcharge, the path and funds responsible for the tax parts of the bill, he prescribed his part of legislation on Wednesday morning with 26-19 vote. But the key sticking point, an upper limit for the state and local tax deduction, which is often referred to as salt, seemed unsolved. Republicans who represent blue states have pushed themselves to an increase in the upper limit of 10,000 US dollars, but have covered in the last few days with an proposed upper limit of $ 30,000.

On Salt, the spokesman for House, Mike Johnson, a Republican in Louisiana, said on Wednesday morning that in the conversations between the Republicans of the Red State and the Blue State as a “neutral referee” he also served and adds: “I am absolutely confident that we will be able to work out a compromise with which everyone can live.”

Energy and trade with medicaid deals with Medicaid

In the meantime, the energy and commercial committee discussed more than 25 hours before accompanying its share of legislation in a vote of 30 to 24 on Wednesday afternoon. The committee was commissioned to find 880 billion US dollars in the amount of cuts, which participated in the popular Medicaid claim program.

The proposal for energy and trade presented on Monday evening would impose work requirements for adults without children, more frequent admission reviews, reductions in federal financing for countries that use Medicaid infrastructure, to provide health insurance for undocumented immigrants and a ban on medical coverage of gender relocation services for children.

Agriculture Committee voices about changes in the food stamp

The agricultural committee, which was commissioned to determine cuts in the amount of $ 230 billion, also voted on his part of the law on Wednesday evening and said goodbye after a process that started late Tuesday.

The most controversial problem that the agricultural committee deals with surrounds the supplemental Nutrition Assistance program, which is generally referred to as food brands. The committee's proposal would increase adults' age without children without qualifying children while relocating more costs in states. The invoice updates the age requirement to 64, compared to 54.

The Republicans would also like to close a gap for the exception for the work requirement, the states to apply for areas with unemployment rates of over 10% or “a sufficient number of jobs” could be missing.

House is aiming for a coordination next week – but the Senate still has to weigh

House GOP leadership celebrated the committee stage on Wednesday morning and in their weekly press contract.

“It has provided a lot of work in the current conclusion of 11 committees to do all of her work,” said Steve Scalisene, a Republican in Louisiana.

The Republican heads of state and government pushed until next week that the draft law on the afterwards the measure would go to the House Rules Committee before it could be brought to the ground to coordinate.

“This process is not over yet. We may approach half -time,” said Scalisue. “If we say goodbye to the house next week, you will go to the Senate, you will do your job. But we will transfer this legislation to President Trump's desk before the deadline asked for the time of the White House.”

Johnson also observed the progress in previous legislation on Wednesday and called it “one of the consequences of the consequence of legislation that were ever passed by the United States Congress”.

“It is big, it is comprehensive and it is about reconciling the budget in a way that will be responsible for tax purposes,” said Johnson.

Nevertheless, a handful of the Senate began to express concerns about the legislation of the house in the entire Capitol, which led to discussions about apparently inevitable changes to the package in the upper chamber.

The majority leader of the Senate, John Thune, a Republican in South Dakota, told reporters on Wednesday that he hopes that the house will take over the legislation that the upper chamber could “use as the basis”.

“I think we assumed all the time that the Senate would have its contributions,” said Thune, noticing that they coordinated the house closely. “Obviously there are 53 Republican senators who want to include their own thoughts and ideas.”
