Some House Republicans Already Plan to Vote Against Trump's Agenda Bill

Moments after a divided Senate was able to overcome a small Republican rebellion and pass President Trump's marquee domestic policy bill, all eyes turned to the House where Republican leaders must now contend with growing opposition within their ranks that could derail plans to deliver the legislation to Mr. Trump by Friday. Speaker Mike Johnson was able to win over reluctant Republicans in May by offering a range of concessions to bring House members in line to pass its version of the reconciliation package. But since the Senate made significant changes, he must again stamp out intraparty rebellion without making changes that would require it to go back to the Senate. The path is steep: Multiple members who voted to pass the House version criticized what emerged from the upper chamber, and Mr. Johnson can lose fewer than a handful if all members vote. When the House first voted on the measure in late May, two Republicans, Representatives Warren Davidson of Ohio and Thomas Massie of Kentucky — both anti-deficit conservatives — joined all Democrats in voting against it. 'The changes the Senate made to the House-passed Beautiful Bill, including unacceptable increases to the national debt and the deficit, are going to make passage in the House difficult,' Representative Marlin Stutzman, Republican of Indiana, wrote Tuesday in a social media post. He did not say whether the changes would affect his vote, but he did express a willingness to do away with the arbitrary July 4 deadline set by Mr. Trump to seek improvements to the bill. 'We cannot in good faith pass a bill through our chamber that hinges on cut corners and earmarks,' Mr. Stutzman wrote. 'The American people won't stand for it.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
