Some Republicans in the House broke with President-elect Donald Trump during the spending bill fight late last year .

That dissent could be a harbinger of Republican defections over certain items included or not included in a coming tax bill to extend expiring provisions in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act .

Outgoing Rep. Marc Molinaro (R-NY) predicted that members would end up coming together to deliver on tax legislation.

House Ways and Means Tax Subcommittee Chairman Mike Kelly (R-PA) said Republicans will have a greater challenge enacting the tax cuts this time around.

Kelly said during the 2017 tax fight, a chunk of GOP lawmakers defected and voted against the bill, and despite that, it still passed.
