"He’ll continue to be very engaged in this process with both House members and his friends on the Senate side."
Fox News' Chad Pegram reported on X, "Trump coming to CapHill tomorrow morning to meet with House GOPers about big, beautiful bill."
On Monday, the White House said that Trump would be involved with the bill in order to get it through Congress. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters, “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."
“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," she added, according to The Hill.
The bill passed through the House Budget Committee in a late-night vote on Sunday, where it passed 17-16 while some more conservative members of the House Freedom Caucus voted present after voting against the package last Friday. The bill, if made law, will extend Trump's 2017 tax cuts as well as rollback green energy subsidies that were made available through the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act.
Before going to the House floor for a general vote, the bill will also need to pass through the Rules Committee, which will make any last-minute changes to the bill before it is put up for a floor vote. By doing so, the House is putting the package through the budget reconciliation package, which allows the GOP to get the bill through the Senate with a simple majority and not having to clear the 60-vote threshold to avoid the filibuster.
