“Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is exploring ways to placate two rival factions who have emerged as the biggest roadblocks in the House to a massive bill for President Donald Trump’s agenda: blue-state Republicans who want larger tax breaks for their constituents and conservatives who want Medicaid cuts to kick in sooner,” NBC News reports.
Said Johnson: “I am convinced that we’ll be able to adjust the dial, so to speak, so that we can come to an agreement that will meet the criteria that everybody has and that we can move this thing forward.”
He added: “If you do more on SALT, you have to find more savings. So these are the dials, the metaphorical dials, that I’m talking about.”
