House Republicans are falling further apart in negotiations on a reconciliation package that represents President Trump’s first-year legislative agenda, with just weeks to go before their self-imposed deadline.

As President Trump’s “one big beautiful bill” slowly takes shape, Republicans are demanding specific bailouts for their home states while dreaming of a deficit-neutral piece of legislation. The current framework predicts a deficit increase of around $6 trillion.

When it comes to Medicaid, Rep. Juan Ciscomani is telling fellow Republicans he won't support steep cuts that could hit thousands of residents in his Arizona district — “my neighbors, people my kids go to school with” — who depend on it.

GOP lawmakers in swing districts insist they will not vote for any proposal that strips benefits, placing them at odds with more conservative lawmakers looking to secure deep cuts in spending.
