Six Republican ‘Red Lines’ Could Upend Trump’s Agenda

“As Republican lawmakers hammer out a ‘big, beautiful bill’ to enact President Donald Trump’s policy plans, they’re running into a problem: their colleagues’ growing list of red lines,” the Washington Post reports.

“Some House Republicans say they won’t vote for a bill that cuts Medicaid. Others have refused to support the legislation unless it lets their constituents deduct more of their state and local taxes. Last week, one Senate Republican ruled out voting for any bill unless it pares back spending to the level before the pandemic — which would require massive additional cuts.”

“The growing list of policy ‘no-gos’ will make it even harder for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to draft a bill that can pass their narrowly divided chambers.”
