House Republican leaders have struggled for weeks to convince their own party to retain their reservations in support of a massive bill aimed at advancing President Trump’s domestic agenda. Trump will travel to Capitol Hill for a meeting on Tuesday that will test his ability to succumb to the Republican Party.

A bill rarely includes the president's legislative agenda, but Trump insists that Republicans in Congress have passed tax cuts, pay cuts, deregulation and strengthened border security funds to what he calls "a big and beautiful bill."

Writing legislation that meets these requirements has exposed rifts in the Republican-led House and Senate, which has the potential to completely derail the bill.

On Friday, a handful of Republican members voted on the Budget Committee, Republican leaders negotiated over the weekend to keep in touch with them for consensus.

Late Sunday night, the same committee introduced the bill - the initial retained vote "present".

Rep. Chip Roy, Republican of Texas, said he voted against now, "out of respect for the Republican meeting, the president pushed the bill forward."

Roy and his Freedom Caucus said that while progress is made, they need to see more concessions to vote for the bill later this week.

Pressure from Pennsylvania Avenue

Trump may come to Capitol Hill on Tuesday, but House leaders have long praised him for his involvement and providing it throughout the legislative process.

"Every step, when there is a question, when the final decision has to be made," House Majority Leader Steve Scalis (R-La.) told reporters last week. "He will continue."

Trump promised that he would extend tax cuts from his first term and add new taxes, including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime pay, and no tax on Social Security. These cuts increase the cost of the bill.

He has less opinions on how to pay the bills or how long it should last, and he has not supported the debate among the Housing Republican factions.

Trump and Republican leaders must convince three major groups to support House Speaker Mike Johnson’s Memorial Day deadline:

Members of the Freedom Caucus said the bill would not result in a sufficient deficit reduction. They have received some concessions — namely, accelerating the implementation requirements for Medicaid — but it frustrates them that they are worried that existing homes could threaten the coverage of the program’s 8.6 million people and could become a major issue in next year’s midterm elections. Salt advocates are also fundamentally in conflict with the hardline cost-cutting group.

Two former Trump aides spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to describe Trump's very persuasive private conversation in one-to-one conversations, calling him the "ultimate shutdown" making it difficult for members to turn down.

Trump has recently increased pressure on his partisanship on social media, calling on his party solidarity bill and warning to stay.

"We don't need the "princess" in the Republican Party," Trump said in the Post.
