Republicans' 'Big, Beautiful Bill' Tanks In House Budget Committee

Far-right lawmakers rebelled against their party's bill because its Medicaid cuts don't go deep enough.
WASHINGTON ― Republicans’ “big, beautiful bill” went down in a big, ugly flop as conservatives voted against the measure in the House Budget Committee on Friday.
The bill would cut food and health care programs by $1 trillion to help pay for nearly $5 trillion in tax cuts representing President Donald Trump’s chief domestic policy goal of his second term.
Conservatives want the cuts to go deeper and warned Thursday they would vote against the bill during committee action on Friday, but House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) pressed forward anyway in hopes of passing the bill through the House by Memorial Day.
On Friday morning before the vote, Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) indicated he was still unhappy with the bill despite ongoing negotiations with leadership.
“All of us are very disappointed in the progress, or lack of,” Norman told reporters.
