Trump is trying to unify divided House Republicans on the multitrillion-dollar package that is at risk of collapsing.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans will look to get their massive tax cut and border security package back on track during a rare Sunday night committee meeting after that same panel voted against advancing the measure two days earlier, a setback that Speaker Mike Johnson is looking to reverse quickly.
The bill would boost the tax break to as much as $2,500 but end it for children of undocumented immigrants and married parents who file separate returns.
Speaker Mike Johnson is trying to strike a delicate balance between blue-state Republicans and conservative hard-liners on a sprawling bill for Trump's agenda.
