Trump's signature policy bill is facing trouble on multiple fronts in the Senate [View all]
(NPR) Senate Republicans are racing the clock, trying to meet President Trump's demand that they pass his domestic agenda bill by July 4th as they work to resolve major sticking points inside the GOP conference.
While Senate committee leaders have made several significant changes to the bill in recent days, the issue of funding for rural hospitals has emerged as a major roadblock.
Senate GOP leaders are also waiting to learn if major tax provisions in the bill meet strict Senate rules for what can be included in the bill and still pass with a simple majority vote. The Senate parliamentarian — a non-partisan member of the body's professional staff — is still reviewing those elements to make sure each has a direct impact on the budget, among other regulations. Several provisions in the House version, such as one barring nationwide judicial injunctions, have already been cut in that review.
