Two bipartisan measures designed to bring down Obamacare insurance premiums will be left out of a year-end spending bill after Republicans agreed with the party leaders to let debate slip into next month.
Jerome Powell, a Republican, and Trump's choice to chair the Fed may have an edge in passing Senate confirmation, even though he wasnt the preferred choice of some Republicans.
The Senate adopted a fiscal 2018 budget resolution Thursday that House GOP leaders agreed to accept, a show of unity aimed at speeding consideration of President Donald Trumps plan to enact tax cuts.
The Trump administration was sending conflicting signals about the pact reached by senators Lamar Alexander and Patty Murray, which also faces ambivalence from some Republican senators and outright hostility from many House Republicans.
President Donald Trump gave his blessing to a bipartisan health-care bill to pay the same insurance subsidies that the president said hed halt last week, according to a Republican senator working on the package.
