The ambitious deadline set by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to pass the “one big beautiful” reconciliation bill by Memorial Day is up against the reality that House Republicans haven’t locked in the votes.

House Republican leaders are still trying to resolve major internal battles over President Donald Trump’s massive domestic policy bill even as Speaker Mike Johnson is engaged in last-ditch negotiations to win over GOP members’ conflicting demands before an expected floor vote later this week.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Monday that Republicans are nearing an agreement on President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” of domestic priorities, but he suggested it will take two more days of internal discussions before the deal is sealed.
