Senate Republicans are trying to quickly move forward with the reconciliation bill. It won’t be easy.
“There’s going to be a lot of trade-offs in this whole negotiation,” Sen. John Cornyn told reporters Monday evening. “How do we knit 51 senators together? Right now, it looks a little challenging.”
To pass the bill, Republican leaders will need to cut deals with nearly every corner of their conference and, like the House, lean on President Donald Trump and the White House to muscle the legislation over the goal line.
