Mike Johnson punts House vote on Trump tax agenda after GOP rebellion threatened defeat

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is delaying a key vote on legislation aimed at advancing President Donald Trump's agenda in the face of a likely rebellion on Wednesday evening.

It comes as fiscal hawks in the lower chamber have raised alarms at the Senate's version of the plan, which guarantees far fewer spending cuts than the House's initial offering.

Johnson told reporters the vote will now take place on Thursday, the last scheduled day in session for House lawmakers before a two-week recess.
