Debate on President Trump's tax policy bill returns to the House on Wednesday, a day after the Senate narrowly passed the legislation at the end of a contentious debate.
The House Rules Committee advanced the GOP’s “big, beautiful bill” early Wednesday morning after an hours-long meeting. With some conservatives and moderates unhappy with the Senate's changes to the legislation, its fate in the chamber remains unclear. The panel adopted the procedural rule in a 7-6 vote, with two Republicans — Reps. Chip Roy (R-Texas) and Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) — against the measure.
On Tuesday, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) had attendance concerns, citing weather, which could trip up the plan to get the bill to Trump's desk by Friday, the July 4 deadline.
Trump has no public events planned for Wednesday.
But his legal team notched a win, with the announcement overnight that Paramount Global has agreed to settle a high-profile lawsuit brought by Trump over a CBS News “60 Minutes” interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris that aired last fall. The deal comes after months of legal sparring and tension between the two sides.
