<p>After President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/in-capitol-hill-visit-trump-tells-house-gop-back-big-beautiful-bill-fool" target="_blank" rel="noopener">paid a visit</a> to Capitol Hill on Tuesday, pushing House Republicans to pass the &#8220;one big, beautiful bill,&#8221; GOP lawmakers made it clear they have not come to a resolution that would unify them behind the legislation, but are working toward doing so.</p>
<p>The bill, which is progressing through Congress via the reconciliation process, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/passing-trump-one-big-beautiful-bill-gop-duty-voters-white-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">aims</a> to provide funding for Trump’s domestic priorities, retain the 2017 tax cuts, raise the debt limit, and more. With a slim House majority and near-certain Democrat opposition, Republicans can likely afford only a few defectors to send the bill to the Senate.</p>
<p>One key component that threatens to derail the House bid to pass the legislation is a provision to increase the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap to $30,000 for individuals earning $400,000 or less, up from the current $10,000 limit set to expire at the end of this year. A source told The Daily Wire that Trump urged House Republicans not to let SALT impede the bill&#8217;s progress, noting they could fight about the issue in the future.</p>
<p>However, GOP lawmakers from high-tax blue states signaled they were not ready to back down after the meeting with Trump, as evidenced by a <a href="https://x.com/sahilkapur/status/1924912782459154828" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> from Reps. Mike Lawler (R-NY), Nick LaLota (R-NY), Andrew Garbarino (R-NY), Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ), and Young Kim (R-CA).</p>
<p>&#8220;We share President Donald Trump&#8217;s call for unity within the House Republican Conference. A fair SALT deduction is a matter of fundamental fairness for the hardworking families we represent, including the many who proudly support President Trump and voted for him, in part, because he promised to restore SALT,&#8221; they said. &#8220;We hope his remarks today motivate the Speaker to advance a SALT proposal that delivers meaningful relief for our middle-class constituents, as we have worked in good faith with House Leadership for more than a year. Our states are donor states, consistently subsidizing so-called fiscally responsible red states.&#8221;</p>
<p>The source informed The Daily Wire how Trump told House Republicans that he was losing patience with all holdouts in the House GOP, including the SALT Caucus, as well as the conservative House Freedom Caucus, which is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trumps-one-big-beautiful-bill-clears-hurdle-in-second-attempt-of-key-vote" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pushing</a> for more extensive spending cuts. He also discouraged them from touching Medicaid except for removing waste, fraud, and abuse with such moves as booting off illegal immigrants and making common-sense work requirements.</p>
<p>Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN), a member of the Freedom Caucus, <a href="https://x.com/RepOgles/status/1924856688009433267" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post to X that he agrees with Trump on cutting waste, fraud, and abuse. &#8220;Liberal states like California and New York are abusing Medicaid — and making you pay for it,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Illegal aliens and freeloaders have no right to taxpayer-funded benefits. Cut the waste- accomplish the America First mandate.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another member of the group, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), <a href="https://x.com/chiproytx/status/1924856914086625761" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post of his own: &#8220;Congress doesn’t need to layer more central planning garbage on top of more garbage (blue state winners/losers, [Inflation Reduction Act] subsidies etc). We are bloated enough. And broke. Limit gov spending, put money back in the pockets of hard working Americans and get the hell out of their way.&#8221;</p>
<p>Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who is closely aligned with Trump on the bill and has voiced aspirations for getting the lower chamber to pass the legislation by Memorial Day, expressed confidence after the Capitol Hill meeting.</p>
<p>&#8220;Republicans are on the verge of delivering REAL, POSITIVE results for the American people,&#8221; Johnson <a href="https://x.com/SpeakerJohnson/status/1924884657478221892" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a> in a post on X. &#8220;President Trump has done his part to fix the disaster [former President Joe] Biden left us, it’s time Congress does ours. We cannot leave the American people waiting.&#8221;</p>
<p>House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Rules Committee Ranking Member James McGovern (D-MA) publicly released a letter addressed to Jeffries griping about the plan for a rules panel <a href="https://rules.house.gov/media/announcement/meeting-announcement-may-21-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">meeting</a> at 1 a.m. on the megabill they claimed would cause millions of Americans to lose their health care, benefit the wealthy, and add more than $5 trillion to the national debt.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is deeply troubling that you would attempt to jam this legislation down the throats of the American people. What else are you hiding?&#8221; the Democrats <a href="https://x.com/Olivia_Beavers/status/1924841481363132462" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>. &#8220;It is imperative that you immediately reschedule the meeting so that it may be debated in the light of day.&#8221;</p>
