House Republicans began taking a key procedural vote on President Trump's massive domestic policy bill late Wednesday evening, after scrambling for hours to shore up support ahead of a self-imposed July 4 deadline to get the bill to the president's desk.

By Wednesday evening, enough Republicans remained opposed to the Senate’s version of the bill to effectively stall its passage in the House.

The debate within President Donald Trump 's Republican Party over a massive tax-cut and spending bill returns to the House of Representatives on Wednesday. The Senate passed the legislation by the narrowest possible margin on Tuesday. Nonpartisan analysts say it will add $3.3 trillion to the nation's debt over the next decade.
