President Donald Trump with the Republicans of the House of Representatives on Tuesday to obtain his reconciliation budget “large and beautiful” approved, although several members of the Caucus de Libertad and the State and the local tax (Salt) Caucus remain unvolved without further ado.
Massie, a firm prosecutor who is no stranger to Trump’s head and other representatives about his lack of will to support government spending, saying It is still a “hard” in the invoice, the Washington examiner Reported.
He pointed out that the president could probably convince some members of the Caucus de la Libertad and Sal that “you give up their fights”
“I predict that the bill is approved,” said the congressman. “It was very personal, very persuasive.”
Before the conference with the president, where he spoke for 90 minutes, Trump told journalists that they do not believe that Massie “understands the government” and that he should be “expelled.”
In statements to the press after the meeting, Massie said: “I am the only Republican at this time with which you can count against this vote … it is not consistent for my vote today, as if he supports me or attacks me. It simply is not – no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it is not – no, it does not.
Kentucky Republican added that he was not “offended by anything [Trump] He said “about him.
Trump also directed his attention to the representative Mike Lawler (R-NY), tells him to support his demand for a higher limit in salt deductions to be included in the draft reconciliation law.
“I know your district better than you. If you lose by salt, I was going to lose anyway,” said the president at the closed meeting, the sources told The Outlet.
Lawler told reporters that while he “respects[st] The president, “is not a budget” on the subject as one of the three Republicans who represent a blue district.
“Look, the president can say anything, and respect him, but the fact certainly understands my district,” he argued. “I am one of the only three Republican members who won in a district won Kamala Harris, and I did it for reasons.”
“And so, if you think we are going to throw our voters under the bus to appease [the Freedom Caucus]It is not happening, “he added.
Representative Nick Lalota (R-NY) was not convinced to change his mind regarding the salt lid of $ 40,000, while Trump believes that the limit “benefit increases” benefit[s] Democratic governors. ”
“Those numbers last night did not work for me and the members of Salt Caucus,” Lalota said. “We need a little more salt on the table to get to itself. And I hope that the presence of the president motivates my leadership to give us a number we can sell back home.”
“Everything they need from this city is [a] Little salt. I don’t think it’s not reasonable, “added the New York representative.
In Medicaid, Trump had a simple message: “Don’t fuck with Medicaid.”
Representative Don Bacon (R-LEN), who has previously shared his concern for the cuts to Medicaid, said Trump’s speech was “what the conference needed.”
Representative David Valadao (R-CA) competed, saying that the president’s position on Medicaid “reinforced the message I have been saying for a while: do not touch it.”
While Ralph Norman (R-SC) said that it is not completely a “go” about reconciliation, he told a group of journalists that he thought Trump did a “great job” at the meeting.
“One of the best speeches I have heard. And it is real. I was out of the bracelet. And he said the right things,” said South Carolina congressman.
The president of Freedom Caucus, Andy Harris (R-MD), is not convinced to go to the bill after the meeting, but said that it is possible that a solution is possible.
“We are still very far, but we can get there, maybe not for tomorrow,” he said.
The representative of Freedom Caucus members, Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and Eric Burlison (R-MO) also said they are still a “no”, but both pointed out that more negotiation is possible to take them on board.
“I think those are some things that we could easily move to make it more comfortable for many people like me,” said Burlison, according to the Washington examiner.
“I think you get the type of environment that everyone is, you know, ‘Rah, Rah’, and we are together, and then everyone leaves the room,” said the intelligence committee of the House of Representatives, Rick Crawford (R-AK) after the meeting. “We’ll see. I mean, at the end of the day, people have to make a decision on their own, they have to calculate, I suppose, the political calculation must be taken at home.”
Trump denied that he is “losing patience” with the Republicans of the camera, calling Tesday gathering a “love meeting.”
A White House official told The Outlet that the president “made it clear that he is losing patience with all the factions of the Chamber’s Republican Conference, including Salt Caucus and The House Freedom Caucus.”
“The president is clear: he wants each Republican to vote that yes,” says the statement.
While the speaker Mike Johnson (R-La) goal If the budget for the Fallen Day, it looks unstable due to current maintenance, the bill has an opportunity if it happens through the rules committee on Wednesday.
Talking to the press after Trump’s speech, the speaker said there was “high energy and high emotion” inside the room.
“Failure is not an option,” he said, that he would meet with the “small subgroups” and “tied the remaining loose ends.”
