Speaker Mike Johnson is trying to strike a delicate balance between blue-state Republicans and conservative hard-liners on a sprawling bill for Trump's agenda.

There were cheers when Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee signed off on the GOP tax breaks bill after a round-the-clock session that pushed President Donald Trump’s package past overwhelming Democratic opposition.

Republicans applauded their work as the legislation moved forward, even as Democrats have been sharply critical that the cuts will harm constituents.
