This morning is the biggest domestic challenge President Donald TrumpSecond term in his tenure.
The question is whether he can convince him to close his deal with skeptical House Republicans and support the so-called “big and beautiful bill.”
It is doubtful that the bill has the vote to pass it right now. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La. will pass the bill before releasing members for a Memorial Day break.

State and local tax credits (salt), Medicaid labor requirements remain prominent issues with state and local tax credits (salt), asking states to acquire additional medical expenses and overall expenditures.
It’s about mathematics. house Republicans can only lose three members and still be able to approve the bill.
Johnson wants to vote on Thursday, and perhaps even tomorrow.

The House Rules Committee will register at 1am on Wednesday to begin preparing floor packaging. There are several reasons for this, but let’s start with Congress reasons.
The Budget Committee concluded just before midnight on Sunday. Rules are allowed Democrats Two days after the meeting, documents and perspective are submitted. So they ended the whole day on Monday and Tuesday. The Rules Committee needs “time” to announce a formal meeting. Therefore, the “official” announcement of the Wednesday Rules Committee meeting will be out right after the 12:01am ET on Wednesday. It will be triggered at a meeting on Wednesday at 1am.
Other, more practical reasons are:
Republicans always need them that they can get. There’s talk of trying to vote for the floor a day later on Wednesday. I’ll see about that. But the initial Rules Committee meeting times make that possible.

Second, there is a possibility that the Rules Committee meeting can consume the entire calendar day on Wednesday. The levy of lawmakers from both sides will submit to the Rules Committee to propose various amendments. This is a prolonged process.
But likewise, a 1am meeting could reduce attendance. After all, who would like to show up at 1am for the meeting and discuss your revision at 6:30am? You get an idea.
I’m hoping Trump will meet Republicans It took about an hour and a half this morning. Check if it moves the meter.
