The delay in these markup hearings leaves little time for passage.<\/p>\n<p>Energy and Commerce was set to markup the bill next week. Ways and Means had not yet set a date but was expected to hold the hearing next week, along with the rest of the committees that did not hold markups this week, to line up with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/misleading-list-claiming-to-show-project-2025-policy-positions\/\" title=\"Misleading list claiming to show Project 2025 policy positions\">leadership&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s desired timeline. The two committees are responsible for two of the thorniest provisions of the budget bill: Medicaid spending and tax cuts, respectively. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Chairman had a very productive conversation with President Trump at the White House today. In order to follow up on a few requests, we are not marking up next week,&rdquo; a senior aide to Guthrie wrote to staff of members on the committee in an email obtained by the <em>Washington Examiner.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Please hold the week of May 12th for our reconciliation markup, with Committee meetings beginning prior to votes on Tuesday. We will have member meetings next week on Tuesday and Wednesday in lieu of hearings\/markups &mdash; stay tuned for details. A statement on the delay will be coming from the Speaker and Leader shortly.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Following the budget framework passing last month, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">committee leaders tasked<\/a> with leading sections of the reconciliation package met with lawmakers throughout this week, as several Republicans have expressed concerns over how the GOP can find $1.5 trillion in spending cuts without slashing Medicaid benefits, leaving the House Energy and Commerce markup expected to draw a heated debate.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3394341\/republicans-adjust-time-frame-trump-big-beautiful-tax-bill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>REPUBLICANS ADJUST TIME FRAME FOR TRUMP&rsquo;S &lsquo;BIG, BEAUTIFUL&rsquo; TAX BILL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This budget process unlocks Trump&rsquo;s agenda through one megabill called reconciliation.
