Following a razor-thin victory in the Senate on Tuesday, with Vice President JD Vance stepping in to cast the tie-breaking vote, the bill is now back in the House, and it's proving to be just as difficult to pass there. House Speaker Mike Johnson had hoped for a final vote on Wednesday.
By late afternoon, Republicans didn’t even have enough votes to pass the procedural rule bringing the bill up for debate.
The earlier House version of the bill passed in May by a single vote. Now, with new Senate amendments, Republicans have to reconcile the differences if they want to meet Trump’s self-imposed 4 July deadline.
