Trump Tax Bill Hits Republican Resistance in House Ahead of Vote

President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax reform bill is encountering unexpected resistance from within his own party as it heads toward a critical vote in the House of Representatives. Several Republican lawmakers have expressed concerns over provisions in the bill, particularly those related to state and local tax deductions and the long-term impact on the federal deficit. The internal opposition threatens to delay or derail the legislation, which is a central piece of the Trump administration’s economic agenda. Despite efforts by GOP leaders to rally support, party unity remains fragile. Some lawmakers from high-tax states argue the bill could unfairly burden their constituents, while fiscal conservatives worry about the growing national debt. With the vote approaching, the White House is intensifying its lobbying efforts to secure enough support for passage. The outcome will serve as a major test of Trump’s ability to deliver on his promise of comprehensive tax reform.
