[Trump’s tax cut bill advances in the House] A House panel approved Trump’s tax cut bill, preparing for a possible vote this week. Last Thursday, efforts by Republicans to push President Trump’s comprehensive tax bill through Congress faced obstacles. Five hardline conservatives within the Republican Party voted against it along with all Democratic lawmakers because the hardline conservatives demanded further cuts to the Medicaid program in exchange for their support in a crucial procedural vote. Republican leaders indicated that the bill is not yet ripe, and tax and Medicaid provisions need substantial revisions to win conservative support. ( Jin10 )
