A vote on the mega-facture aimed at advancing on the agenda of President Donald Trump failed in the Chamber Budget Committee on Friday afternoon amid objections of hard funds.
The vote of the committee failed with only 16 legislators in favor and 21 voting against.
Several hard phrases pointed out that they would derail the measure of taxes and budgets about the concerns that it adds to a swollen national debt. The holdouts, which include Republican representatives Ralph Norman, Chip Roy and Andrew Clyde, threatened to prevent the package from moving forward outside the Chamber Budget Committee, which met Friday morning.
The movement is a setback for the speaker Mike Johnson and Trump, who previously asked the holdouts to align and join behind the bill.

Johnson had worked to re -head the “Big Beautiful Bill Bill Ley” of more than 1,000 pages in recent days, meeting with hard funds in an effort to “keep this in motion.”
The terrible experience was another test of Johnson’s relief while working to placate hard linings and unify the factions of his conference.

Johnson worked to achieve a consensus on the salt limits, the amount of state and local taxes that can be canceled in federal tax statements, as the moderates draw a red line that opposes the proposed limit of $ 30,000 in those deductions.
Johnson said Friday that he kept President Donald Trump a day with the last developments with the mass package and that the president is excited about the “forward progress” of the Chamber.
