Sticking Points and Delays

The House heldouts are stalled on Trump's budget bill, here are the key issues:

Point 1

The bill reportedly includes funding for abortion, despite the Republican pro-life platform.Progressive Democrats and Republicans have expressed opposition, and it seems there is insufficient support for the bill to pass.

Point 2

The proposed budget does not take into account the consequences of the inflation and high interest rates which are impacting Americans.

Point 3

Several lawmakers are also concerned about the impact of the proposed budget on healthcare, with an expected cut to Medicaid services.

What's Next?

The House Speaker has indicated that a vote will take place this evening. It is far from certain that there are enough votes to pass the bill.
