Trump confronts South African president on violence against farmers
House Freedom Caucus members just made clear that they’re not ready to support the reconciliation package that Republicans have been debating all morning in the Rules Committee.
The chairman of the conservative group, Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., told reporters that the White House had offered a proposal late last night that would be acceptable to his members, but he said, “I don’t think it can be done today. I mean, the runway is short today.”
Harris was unsure if the House could pass the bill this week, as Republican leaders want, instead offering up a 10-day timeline.
Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, another member of the far-right caucus, said they’ve made significant progress in negotiations to advance Trump’s agenda in the reconciliation legislation, but “there’s a long way to go.”
Another group member, Scott Perry, R-Pa., said the caucus can’t support the current version of the bill, which doesn’t include the White House’s latest proposals.
While the Freedom Caucus members said that they want to end “waste, fraud and abuse” in Medicaid and end energy-related tax credits, they repeatedly declined to provide specifics about what it would take to gain their support for the bill.
