House still working on Dumpf's Big Booty Full bill
A key committee meeting on the GOP’s “big, beautiful bill” is dragging into the daylight Wednesday, as Democrats needle Republicans on the contents of the sprawling package and GOP lawmakers wait to review leadership’s changes to the measure.
The House Rules Committee’s hearing — which began at 1 a.m. EDT Wednesday — was still running as of 8 a.m., with committee chairs and ranking members taking turns testifying about the 1,116-page bill. The legislation includes an extension of the tax cuts President Trump enacted in 2017, energy policy, changes to Medicaid and a debt limit increase, among other provisions.
It remains unclear when the committee will hold a vote on adopting a rule — which governs debate on legislation and is the final step before the bill hits the floor — and wrap up its work on the legislation.
Republicans are still waiting for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to disclose what changes leadership plans to make to the bill, which the Rules Committee will have to consider and vote on.
