House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is staring down a growing rebellion from his centrist wing over cuts to Medicaid in the GOP's "big, beautiful bill." Why it matters: Moderate and swing-district House Republicans are trying to balance their loyalty to Trump with their increasingly imperiled reelection prospects.

President Donald Trump is skeptical of congressional Republicans’ emerging plans to make deep cuts to Medicaid, the safety-net health program covering nearly 80 million Americans, six people close to the president said.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) is now faced with a difficult task: Passing a budget bill that the slim House Republican majority will support, while staying away from contentious policies that President Donald Trump is hesitant to support.
