House Republicans narrowly approved a framework Tuesday for President Donald Trump's legislative agenda, setting off a sprint with the Senate to reshape the tax code, implement strict new immigration policy, drill for new energy resources and spend billions on national defense. The bill, which passed 217-215, would allow Congress's GOP majorities to bypass a Democratic Senate filibuster through what's known as the budget reconciliation process, but Republicans still face significant challenges before they can pass what Trump has taken to calling his "big, beautiful bill." The House and Senate must agree on competing approaches, even though both chambers have now passed their own versions of the legislation.
