GOP fiscal hawks sink key vote on Trump ‘big, beautiful bill’

Fiscal hawks on the House Budget Committee on Friday sunk a key vote on advancing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that encompasses President Trump’s legislative agenda, marking a stunning setback for the legislation.

The 16-21 vote throws up a hurdle for leaders hoping to send the bill to the Senate by Memorial Day — but who are still haggling over last minute changes to appease not only the fiscal hawks but moderates seeking bigger blue-state tax breaks.
