House Republicans launch marathon hearings to push ahead with Trump's big bill

  • By LISA MASCARO and KEVIN FREKING Associated Press

Tax breaks tallying more than $5 trillion. But also sizable reductions in Medicaid health care, food stamps for older Americans and green energy strategies to fight climate change. Those are all up for debate Tuesday as the House Republicans launch marathon public hearings on President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill." It's a long day and night ahead. Republicans are working to push Trump's signature legislative package through a gauntlet of committee hearings over mounting opposition from Democrats, advocacy groups and even some wary Republicans themselves. The first hearing was disrupted by protesters shouting against health care cuts. House Speaker Mike Johnson hopes to send the Senate the bill by Memorial Day.
