Trump Asks Republicans To Rally Around ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ After Failed Committee Vote

The “big, Beautiful bill” that Donald Trump has requested from Congress has been torpedoed by his own party, but the president has encouraged Republicans to keep working until they reach an agreement.

The legislation failed to pass the House Budget Committee on Friday as Republican Reps. Chip Roy of Texas, Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma, Andrew Clyde of Georgia, and Ralph Norman of South Carolina voted against the measure, Fox News reported.

Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Lloyd Smucker changed his vote from “yes” to “no,” but that was only a procedural maneuver so that the bill could be voted on again. He said that he has confidence that the legislation will ultimately be passed.

House Budget Committee Chairman and Republican Texas Rep. Jodey Arrington has asked the committee to come back together on Sunday night at 10 p.m. for another vote.

“The committee met to mark up and debate the bill, a massive piece of legislation that’s a product of 11 different House committees’ individual efforts to craft policy under their jurisdictions. The result is a wide-ranging bill that advances Trump’s priorities on the border, immigration, taxes, energy, defense and raising the debt limit,” the Fox News report said.
