House GOP holdouts threaten Trump's budget, tax cut bill as votes delayed

Quick Summary:

Despite a shove from US President Donald Trump, House Republicans abruptly postponed a vote late Wednesday on their budget framework, unable to convince conservative GOP holdouts who had raised grave misgivings over allowing trillions of dollars in tax breaks without deeper spending cuts.

Speaker Mike Johnson almost dared the Republican hardliners to defy Trump and risk upending what the president calls the big, beautiful bill", which is central to his agenda of tax cuts, mass deportations and a smaller federal government.

Don't doubt us, Johnson said, after a more than hourlong huddle with GOP lawmakers.
