The White House on Monday called on Congress to advance legislation enacting Donald Trump’s tax and spending priorities, hours after House Republican leadership reached an agreement with far-right holdouts to pass the bill through a crucial committee and closer to a vote by the full chamber.

The move raised the prospect that it would not be able to pass the full chamber before the Memorial Day deadline set by the Republican speaker, Mike Johnson.
