U.S. President Donald Trump is set to join the congressional debate over his sweeping tax bill, as House Republicans struggle to maintain their fragile majority ahead of a crucial vote. Trump will attend a Tuesday morning meeting with the 220-member House Republican caucus, including hardline conservatives who previously stalled the “One Big Beautiful Bill” and Republicans from New York seeking help with raising the deduction cap for state and local taxes.

Despite Trump’s call for unity, four hardliners initially blocked the bill’s progress in the House Budget Committee, which later approved it on Sunday night. Trump celebrated the development on Truth Social, saying, “CONGRATULATIONS REPUBLICANS!!! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”. The push to advance the legislation follows Moody’s downgrade of the U.S. federal government’s top-tier credit rating, citing the nation’s growing $36.2 trillion debt pile. Trump’s bill would add $3 trillion to $5 trillion to the debt, according to nonpartisan analysts. Johnson believes the downgrade underscores the need for the legislation, aiming to pass it in the House before the May 26 Memorial Day holiday.
