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 Donald Trump is on Capitol Hill on Tuesday to meet with House Republicans as he continues pushing Congress to pass his "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," which narrowly passed a House committee vote on Sunday.

Deficit hawks who had blocked the measure two days earlier are still dissatisfied and want steeper spending cuts.

Millions of Americans are at risk of losing access to Medicaid under the proposed legislation, which passed the House Energy and Commerce Committee (HECC). Representative Brett Guthrie, a Kentucky Republican and chair of the HECC, insisted that the changes will "strengthen and sustain" Medicaid for the future, calling them "common sense."
