It has been proven equally difficult for Trump’s allies to adopt a bill through the house, which appears to be speaker Mike Johnson to vote on Wednesday.
In the afternoon, the Congress members were emptied from the floor of the House, after it was clear that the bill had no vote enough to adopt a rule that allows the legislation to the floor, as a rule, an easy procedural task.
The House, or the lower house, approved an earlier version of the bill in May with a stock of only one vote, and this bill with new amendments that have thwarted some Republicans should now be agreed with the Senate version.
Both chambers are controlled by Trump Republicans, but within the party several factions are fighting for key policy in prolonged legislation.
The president was very involved in trying to convince the walk and held several meetings at the White House on Wednesday in the hoping to win them.
Ralph Norman, the Republican House from South Carolina, took part in one of the meetings, but he was not convinced.
“There will be no vote until we can satisfy everyone,” he said, adding that there are about 25 other Republicans who are currently opposed. The House can only reproduce three Republicans to pass this measure.
“I had problems with this bill,” he said. “I have problems with all this.”

The CBO budget (CBO) estimated that the version of the bill, which was adopted by the Senate on Tuesday, could add 3.3 TN (2.4 pounds) to the US national deficit over the next 10 years. This is compared to $ 2.8 TN, which can be added an earlier version that took place at home.
The deficit means the difference between what the US government is spent and the profit it receives.
This outraged the fiscal hawks in the conservative house of Liberty Kauk, which threatened to put the bill.
Many of them repeat the claims expressed by Elon Musk, a former advisor to Trump and a donor to the company who has repeatedly attacked the legislators for consideration of the bill, which will eventually add to the US state debt.
Shortly after the Senate adopted the bill, the Texas Congressman Chip swarmFrom the ultra -conservative House of Liberty, he quickly signaled his disappointment.
He said the chances of fulfilling Trump’s fulfillment on July 4 extended.
Chairman of the Liberty Kau Andy Harris Tennessee told Fox News that Musk is right to say that the US could not support this deficit. “He understands the finances, understands debt and deficit, and we must make further progress.”
On Tuesday Congressman Conservatives Andy OGL He went to amend the amendment that would completely replace the Senate version of the bill he called “Dud”, the original approved house.
Ohio Republican Warren Davison Posted by X: “Promise that someone else is cutting costs in the future does not reduce costs.”

This repeats the criticism of the Democrats of the opposition, whose leader Hacki Jeffreis posted on Wednesday on Instagram a photo, holding a baseball bat and promising “keeping the pressure on one big ugly bill of Trump”.
Other Republicans signaled the readiness to compromise. Randy Fini, Florida, told the BBC that he was disappointed with the Senate bill, but that he voted for the house because “we cannot allow the enemy of good.”
The House of Representatives of the Republicans fought for how much to reduce subsidies for Medicaid and food subsidies in the original version of their House. They needed a bill to reduce the costs to offset the lost income from reducing the taxes contained in the legislation.
The Senate made more steady cuts in both areas in the version that were transmitted on Tuesday.
Changes to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act (better known as Obamacare) in the Senate bill will see approximately 12 million Americans who will lose health insurance by 2034, according to a CBO report published on Saturday.
