GOP House Freedom Caucus holdouts and Speaker Mike Johnson on the One Big Beautiful Bill met with President Trump at the White House on Wednesday afternoon as the is set to potentially vote on the Act tonight, a White House official confirmed to The Gateway Pundit.

President Trump has said he needs the budget reconciliation bill to pass in order to cut taxes for the working class, fund his secure border and mass deportation agenda, and follow through on  creating the “Golden Age of America.” On Tuesday, President Trump delivered remarks to House Republicans on Capitol Hill, where he reportedly asked lawmakers to stop haggling over the bill and move it forward to his desk

It “represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver on the Make America Great Again agenda, responsible for President Trump’s landslide victory on November 5,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a recent press conference.

However, some Republicans who met with the President today, including Rep. Andy Harris (MD) and Chip Roy, may oppose the bill, leading to its failure. Speaker Mike Johnson has said he hopes to pass the bill by Memorial Day on Monday.

As House Republicans drag their feet and quarrel over the bill, the Senate has begun work on passing standalone bills in the President’s agenda, including the No Tax on Tips Act, which passed on Tuesday, reported.

Still, it appears that progress was made in today's meeting.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement following the meeting,

“The meeting was productive and moved the ball in the right direction. The President reiterated how critical it is for the country to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill as quickly as possible.”

The White House said in a statement earlier on Wednesday, "The House of Representatives should immediately pass this bill to show the American people that they are serious about 'promises made, promises kept.'" The statement continued, " is committed to keeping his promises, and failure to pass this bill would be the ultimate betrayal."
