The conflict over strategy comes as top House Republicans met Thursday with Trump, who has indicated a preference for a one-bill approach but largely steered clear of the dispute.

Speaker Mike Johnson led a cross-section of House Republicans to the White House Wednesday to chew over strategy with Trump to advance his ambitious agenda.

House Republicans reported “very positive developments” after a marathon meeting at the White House on Thursday focused on passing President Trump’s legislative agenda, predicting that the chamber could move on legislative as early as next week.
