House Republicans scrapped a vote to advance President Donald Trump’s agenda after it was clear Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) did not have the GOP support needed to pass it on Wednesday night.
After huddling with a band of fiscal hawks who want a guarantee on deeper spending cuts, Johnson emerged from the meeting telling reporters they will aim to try again on Thursday.
“We have a small subset of members who weren’t totally satisfied with the product as it stands,” the speaker said. “So, we’re going to talk about maybe going to conference with the Senate or adding an amendment, but we’re going to make that decision. We are going to continue to move forward.”
