Trump’s Bill Faces Hurdles Despite Border Funding Push

The Congress works on President Trump’s bill which unites tax benefits with military and border security funding of $350 billion and wall construction. House Speaker Mike Johnson seeks Memorial Day passage of the bill yet Rep. Jason Smith revealed "bumps" during his appearance on Fox News Sunday. The key committees Ways and Means along with Medicaid and food stamps reductions and tax cuts remain unaddressed.

The eleven House committees work on bills which have received half-party approval but Democrats continue their opposition through party-line votes. Johnson confirmed possible delays but maintained that the schedule remains intact. The bill prioritizes migration restrictions which match Trump's goals yet social program reductions create political challenges that might lead to adverse consequences. The package's success depends on finding common ground between Republican goals and financial constraints and voting needs.
