Republicans fall further apart on Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’

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.

GOP lawmakers sent conflicting signals Wednesday on how to cut Medicaid, indicating they were no closer to a deal on one of the biggest points in their internal negotiations.

On another key issue, raising the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap, they lost ground in talks to reach a compromise.
