Republicans in the House of Representatives advanced U.S. President Donald Trump's massive tax-cut and spending bill toward a final yes-or-no vote early Thursday morning, appearing to overcome internal party divisions over its cost.

President Donald Trump is ramping up pressure on Republicans to get his tax and spending bill across the finish line. Several House Republicans arrived White House on Wednesday morning for meetings as the president presses his party to pass the sweeping legislation -- a centerpiece of Trump's second term agenda.

President Trump has been urging lawmakers to send him the bill to sign into law by July 4, but also acknowledged the timeline is flexible.
