President Donald Trump went to Capitol Hill early Tuesday to seal the deal on his “big, beautiful bill,” using the power of political persuasion to unify divided House Republicans. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt will hold a briefing at 1 p.m. EDT. Watch live in our video player above.

House Republicans are working through disagreements over a number of issues this weekend to pass President Donald Trump's sweeping budget bill.

Republicans advanced the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" in a late-night vote Sunday as leaders look to pass it by Memorial Day.

Key GOP conservatives remain opposed to approving President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill in the House this week – and even Trump himself may not be able to change their minds.

Among the primary sticking points in the negotiations is just how much to slash from the bill. As things stand, the measure's tax breaks total about $4.9tr (£3.7tn), partly paid for by cuts to the healthcare programme known as Medicaid, as well as to green energy tax breaks approved by former President Joe Biden.
