Trump’s unity speech doesn’t sway SALT or Freedom Caucus Republicans at the Capitol

President Donald Trump’s efforts to pressure GOP holdouts to support the “one big, beautiful” reconciliation bill with a plea for unity failed Tuesday morning despite a personal visit to Capitol Hill.

Blue-state House Republicans seeking a higher state and local tax cap emerged from the House Republican conference meeting without moving an inch on their opposition. Several House Freedom Caucus members, who have urged deeper cuts into Medicaid spending, also left the meeting as holdouts.
