A key House committee advanced President Donald Trump’s giant tax and spending package after Republican hardliners won agreement from party leaders to speed up cuts to Medicaid health coverage.The House Budget Committee approved the legislation late Sunday night after a weekend of negotiations with four ultraconservatives on the panel who on Friday joined with Democrats to reject the legislation.

President Trump's budget bill, dubbed the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," which adds new requirements to and cuts Medicaid to help pay for tax cuts, has passed the House budget committee vote.

The Congressional Budget Office has said the bill, if enacted, would cause more than 8 million people to lose their coverage.
