GOP Leaders Push for Single Bill to Advance Trump’s Legislative Agenda

Republicans aim to unify around a sweeping reconciliation bill but face internal divisions and tight legislative deadlines.

• House and Senate GOP leaders met with President Trump to strategize on advancing his agenda through a single reconciliation bill, bypassing Senate filibuster rules.
• Key priorities for the bill include extending Trump-era tax cuts, border security measures, energy reforms, and regulatory changes.
• Internal disagreements persist, with some Senate Republicans advocating for a two-bill approach to expedite border and energy measures while delaying tax proposals.
• The razor-thin GOP majority in the House, coupled with upcoming resignations, leaves little room for error in securing votes for the bill’s passage.
• Additional challenges include addressing the debt ceiling, funding the government by March 14, and potential disaster aid for California wildfire relief.
