The House GOP is trying to appease fiscal hawks, Medicaid defenders, and tax cut advocates

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is trying to iron out disagreements within the House Republican Party over taxation, Medicaid reform, and the general fiscal benefit of his “ one big, beautiful” budget bill.

Four House Republicans from New York have rejected the speaker’s offer of a $ 30,000 cap on the tax deduction as insufficient.

A handful of fiscal hawks in the House have expressed their dissatisfaction with the Energy and Commerce Committee's reforms to Medicaid .

The hard deadline for passing a bill will likely come when the U.S. hits its current debt limit, and Congress will be forced to raise the debt ceiling.

Finding a compromise that satisfies all those factions in Congress is no easy task, Caldwell says.

The House Republican leadership has continuously defied the odds throughout the early budget process.
