WASHINGTON (AP) — The House sprang back to action late Wednesday after a prolonged stalemate as Republican leaders spent the afternoon and evening working furiously to convince skeptics to support President Donald Trump’s tax and spending cuts package and send it to his desk by the Fourth of July deadline.

House voting on rule to pave the way to final debate on Trump's tax-and-spending bill​

After a day-long delay, the House has started a procedural vote on a rule that would open final debate on the tax-and-spending bill Donald Trump wants to sign into law, but the measure has already been voted against by enough Republicans to have it fail.

The vote is still open, but four Republicans have voted against the rule so far, which means that the measure will fail if all Democrats vote against it as well and no one changes their vote.
