House Republicans will reconvene this evening to find a path to pass President Trump's "big, beautiful bill" after encountering a hurdle on Friday.
Five fiscal hawks blocked the measure from being made out of the House Budget Committee.
The GOP lawmakers who voted against pushing forward the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBB) include: Reps. Chip Roy (Texas), Ralph Norman (S.C.), Josh Brecheen (Okla.) and Andrew Clyde (Ga.). Rep. Lloyd Smucker (Pa.) initially voted for the bill, but flipped to a no in a procedural move.
House Republican leadership is racing to pass the bill before their Memorial Day deadline.
Meanwhile, President Trump has defended his decision to accept a luxury Boeing 747-8 jet from the Qatari royal family.
The plane is intended to be delivered to the Department of Defense and would eventually replace the aging Air Force One, which has been in service for over three decades.
The gift has raised security and ethical questions from Democrats and Republicans alike.
Democrats are facing different headaches as questions around former President Biden's mental acuity are back in the spotlight. Excerpts from the new book "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again," by CNN's Jake Tapper and Axios's Alex Thompson, published in various outlets this week, detail Biden's inner circle ignoring the former president vulnerabilities and taking steps to bar even some of his staff from seeing his shortcomings.
