GOP en llamas: fractura interna por proyecto de ley respaldado por Trump mientras arden los debates en la Cámara

El Partido Republicano se rompe en pedazos mientras el fantasma de Trump divide las aguas.

Subencabezado: Los leales al expresidente chocan con los tradicionalistas en una batalla por el alma del partido.

Washington arde con tensiones partidistas mientras los representantes discuten el controvertido proyecto. Los halcones fiscales gruñen sobre el costo, pero los trumpistas leales presionan para aprobarlo 'como tributo'. ¿El resultado? Otro espectáculo circense en el Capitolio que haría sonrojar a Wall Street—si es que esos tiburones supieran ruborizarse.

Cierre incisivo: Mientras el GOP se devora a sí mismo, el reloj corre hacia las elecciones intermedias. Apostarían sobre esto... si no fuera tan trágicamente predecible.

GOP divided over Trump-backed bill as House debates intensify

Despite the president’s confidence on social media, liberals may find a way to close down the path of the bill to the Oval Office, amendments made or not. The vote to consider the resolution passed by a single vote, meaning there could be a division even within the Republican ranks.

The vote enables debate to begin earnestly on the House floor, but does not guarantee final passage.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said he is working to bring lawmakers from different ideological factions within the GOP together for a meeting, so that the legislation is passed before Trump’s July 4 legislative deadline. 

“I’m talking to everybody,” Johnson said, noting ongoing discussions with holdouts and House members wary of the bill’s provisions.

House GOP Majority Leader Steve Scalise supported Johnson’s sentiments, revealing members had reservations on changes made by the Senate. 

“Some of them take us a little bit backwards, some of them are a little bit better,” he told reporters Wednesday, but insisted the bill still carried “the Trump agenda.”

Scalise was certain that questions were expected during the process and said GOP leadership had succeeded in the past at flipping undecided or dissenting votes. Still, some conservatives are withholding support until substantive amendments are made.

“Unless something changes, I’m a no,” GOP leader Rep. Ralph Norman of South Carolina said.

Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee bashed his fellow party members for what he called a familiar bait-and-switch tactic. 

“We’re hearing the same line: ‘Let’s pass this and we’ll fix it later.’ We never fix it later, and America knows that,” he surmised, walking into the Capitol Building. “I don’t care if it’s July 40th, honestly.”

Several other conservative House Republicans are reportedly visiting the White House later today to raise their objections directly with the president, focused on federal deficits and social spending programs.

“Republicans, don’t let the Radical Left Democrats push you around. We’ve got all the cards, and we are going to use them,” Trump said in one of his Truth Social posts.

Bill includes cuts on Medicare and massive tax reductions

The legislation includes $4.5 trillion in tax reductions and proposes to raise the federal debt ceiling by $5 trillion, $1 trillion more than the House’s original version passed in May. It also mandates significant cuts to federal health and nutrition programs, including Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

According to several economists, including those from Yale University’s Budget Lab, the bill is likely to benefit high-income earners while putting increased pressure on lower-income Americans.
