Mike Johnson's headaches persist despite Trump's assist

Speaker Mike Johnson is still facing a bloc of persistent right-wing holdouts on his "big, beautiful bill" even after President Trump urged House Republicans to support it in a closed-door meeting.Why it matters: Johnson (R-La.) and his leadership team are hoping to bring the marquee tax and spending cut legislation to the floor for a vote as soon as Wednesday, but that timeline is at risk of slipping away."I don't think the votes are going to be there this week, the margins are very narrow," said House Freedom Caucus chair Andy Harris (R-Md.).Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.), a former Freedom Caucus chair, told Axios: "I don't know that anything's changed … I need to see text." Zoom in: Blue-state Republicans pushing for an increased State and Local Tax Deduction signaled they were also unswayed."As it stands right now, I do not support the bill," Rep Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) told reporters.
