President Trump is slated to attend a House Republican Conference meeting on Tuesday at the Capitol as the party charts the path forward on a massive reconciliation package containing key pieces of his agenda.
A White House official confirmed to The Hill that Trump will head to the Capitol. The meeting was first reported by Punchbowl News.
Republicans advanced the One Big Beautiful Bill Act out of the House Budget Committee in an unusual late-night vote Sunday, marking a key hurdle cleared for House GOP leaders as they look to move the legislation through the chamber despite disagreements within the party.
The next stop is the House Rules Committee, which is set to take up the legislation later this week and make last-minute changes to the bill to reflect any compromises and demands between deficit hawks and moderates in high-tax states.
The White House signaled earlier Monday that Trump would get involved to try to win over holdouts if called upon to do so.
“Over the weekend the president was in direct conversation and communication with the Speaker of the House. He’s been very involved. He always is,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters earlier Monday. “He’s willing to pick up the phone when he is asked to. So he’ll continue to be very engaged in this process with both House members and his friends on the Senate side as well.”
