Trump megabill on thin ice ahead of key vote

(The Hill) A key committee vote for the Republican package full of President Trump’s legislative priorities scheduled for Friday could be punted to next week as hardliners on the panel threaten to block the legislation.

“I haven’t given up yet. But there are concerns about having to get more information, which would potentially delay this to next week, so we’ll see,” House Budget Committee Chair Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) said Thursday.

The possible delay comes after a wave of hardliners on the panel — Reps. Chip Roy (R-Texas), Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), and Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) — said they planned to vote against advancing the GOP’s megabill in its current form in a meeting scheduled for Friday.
