House Republicans Scramble for Tax Deal Following Trump Meeting

House Republican leaders worked frantically Wednesday night to resolve divisions over Medicaid and green energy provisions in Donald Trump’s signature tax bill that threaten plans to vote on it this week.

Opposition from some hardliners began to soften after an afternoon White House meeting with Trump, with Representative Andy Biggs throwing his support behind the bill. Representative Ralph Norman, once a firm opponent who did not attend the White House meeting, appeared more open-minded after speaking with colleagues who met with the president.
