House Republicans are working to secure votes for a tax and spending bill tied to President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda.

The House of Representatives is considering the Senate-approved GOP bill, which includes provisions on tax cuts and spending adjustments.

Republican leaders are engaging members to gather enough support for passage, addressing concerns raised by some party members.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is leading efforts to manage the vote, with about a dozen Republicans reportedly expressing reservations. Lawmakers had less than 24 hours to review the Senate version after its passage, contributing to some uncertainty.

Supporters argue the bill promotes economic growth and aligns with conservative fiscal principles, while opponents cite concerns over fiscal impacts and specific provisions.
