Donald Trump's sweeping tax and spending bill cleared a major hurdle as the House Budget Committee advanced it late Sunday after GOP leaders caved to demands from ultraconservatives to speed up deep Medicaid cuts. The fast-tracked work requirements could eject millions from coverage. Clean energy tax breaks will also be phased out sooner. Though the bill now moves to the House floor, fractures within the Republican party persist. Senate resistance looms from moderates and green energy backers, making the path to passage far from smooth for Trump’s high-stakes fiscal agenda.
