Bloomberg Washington Correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz deliver insight and analysis on the latest headlines from the White House and Capitol Hill, including conversations with influential lawmakers and key figures in politics and policy.

Republican Party leaders are rushing to overcome lingering internal fights over President Donald Trump’s massive tax and spending package as Democrats launch attacks to exploit the divisions.

Senate Republicans were still at odds Monday over how much to cut Medicaid and other social safety-net programs and how rapidly to end Biden-era clean energy tax breaks as Democrats gained the chance to force votes on amendments to the package.

Democrats, locked out of power in Washington, are planning to offer amendments during a marathon voting session to exploit the infighting and make the GOP goal of getting holdouts to back the bill as soon as Monday night more difficult.

“I’m confident that the bill is going to progress as-is over the next few hours, and it will be on the president’s desk to sign on July 4,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Bloomberg Television on Monday morning.

On this edition, Joe and Kailey speak with:

Steve Ellis, President of Taxpayers for Common Sense
Ashley Davis, Partner at S-3 Group and Republican Strategist
Jeanne Sheehan Zaino, Senior Democracy Fellow with the Center for the Study of the Presidency & Congress and Bloomberg Politics Contributor Lisa Camooso Miller, Former RNC Communications Director and Republican Strategist
Marc Goldwein, Senior Vice President and Senior Policy Director at the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget
