The spokesman for the House, Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, can only afford three defenses in a floor vote when all members are present and vote in view of his slim majority. All Democrats are expected to oppose it.

First, however, the legislation will take committee before the rules that mark the last stop for most laws in front of the full house Voices about a measure.

In a promising sign, Republican MP Ralph Norman from South Carolina, one of the conservative holds that the invoice breastfeeded He said in the household committee Let it advance From the rules of committee, where he is also a member.

“I won't kill it in rules,” Norman told reporters on Monday evening. “It has to go to the ground.”

The rare night meeting of the committee, which is planned for 1 a.m., takes place as a Republican leadership race to pass what Mr. Trump calls a “big, beautiful bill” in front of her self-imposed commemoration period.

In the past few days, Johnson has met with the various factions to hear the demands and to build a consensus on a modified version of legislation, which was produced by almost a dozen house committees.

The conservatives that are upset that this invoice does not make spending cuts steeply enough to reduce the deficit significantly, have promoted the requirements for Medicaid work requirements to start much earlier than a period of 2029. They also want to remove all subsidies for clean energy that were implemented as part of the Inflation Reducation Act, which was signed by the former President Joe Biden to the law.

“Unfortunately, it is recharged in deficits and in the savings, which I don't like,” said Republican Rep. Chip Roy from Texas, another conservative holdout, on Monday. “None of my voices are guaranteed at this time.”

The impartial committee for a responsible federal budget estimated that the original version of the invoice would add the deficit to the deficit in the next decade by 3.3 trillion dollars.

Conservatives have also pushed to change the sentence through which the Federal Government paid states for Medicaid, a point of dispute with moderate, which warned of larger cuts of the program.

Johnson repeated on Monday that the change “has been away from the table for some time”. And Mr. Trump said before the meeting on Tuesday morning that “we don't make anything of anything meaningful” and added: “The only thing we cut off is waste, fraud and abuse.”

A determination of the state and local tax deduction, known as Salt, is suspended with a group of Republicans from Blue States that have threatened to hold their votes back, unless their demands are met. And after a meeting with Johnson Monday evening, an agreement seemed to be out of reach.

GOP MP Mike Lawler from New York outlined before the meeting that the moderate group had no plans for the cave. And in his message to conservatives, Lawler told reporters: “If you think you throw our voters under the bus to appease them, it doesn't happen.”

“The fact is that we would not even be in this position if they had not won members in seats like mine,” said Lawler.

Mr. Trump burdened the salt problem before his meeting with the Republican conference of the house on Tuesday and suggested that he would oppose the increase in the upper limit because he would benefit from democratic governors from states such as New York, Illinois and California and described them as “greatest” beneficiaries.
