The House GOP's proposal for a massive conservative policy overhaul has encountered resistance from Republican lawmakers, highlighting potential hurdles in passing the legislation without Democratic support. With their current majority, Republicans will need near-unanimous support to advance the bill.
House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, R-Md., expressed the need for modifications to the proposal before it reaches the floor, reflecting concerns among GOP hardliners. Rep. Eric Burlison, R-Mo., criticized the bill as a 'pathetic' attempt at cutting spending, warning of a potential debt spiral.
