The top House Republican was making a low-key — but high-stakes — visit to the House Budget Committee before the panel’s second meeting on President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill." The first meeting on May 16 had blown up without resolution when four fiscal hawks balked at the legislation and voted against advancing it to the full House.

The U.S. House of Representatives narrowly approved the "big, beautiful bill." The bill now goes to the Senate, where it needs a majority vote to pass.
