The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives will try to take its first step on Tuesday toward enacting President Donald Trump's tax-cut and border agenda, giving Speaker Mike Johnson hours to corral wayward Republicans into supporting the effort.

La., and House Republicans were desperately working Monday to salvage a high-stakes vote this week on a sweeping budget resolution to pass President Donald Trump's agenda of trillions of dollars in tax cuts and additional funds for immigration enforcement.

House Republicans are eyeing tariff revenue, clawbacks of clean energy incentives and savings from President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency as potential alternatives to the steep Medicaid cuts they’re considering as part of their sweeping domestic policy package, according to three people familiar with the conversations.

The Senate plan, passed last week, does not include Medicaid cuts. The Senate budget resolution omits tax policy but sets the spending agenda to enact Trump’s border, defense and energy policies, punting negotiations on tax policy to a later date and breaking up the spending plan into two separate measures.
