While there were no changes in the legislative text of President Donald Trump’s Megabill after he returned from the Senate, some Republican Holdouts of the House of Representatives said the president made promises to obtain his votes.
After meeting with the Republicans of the House of Representatives of the White House on Wednesday and working the phones during the night and until Thursday, the president addressed the restlessness of the members in real time, President Mike Johnson observed: “Ensuring that the concerns of all and their questions are answered.”
The representative of South Carolina, Ralph Norman, said Trump provided “guarantees” that changes would be made to “obtain permissions” related to wind and solar tax credits.
“Wind and solar energy should be, we would have trimmed on days 1. We couldn’t do that,” Norman said on Thursday CNBC.

“And, you know, until late at night, we were negotiating, you know, things that could change, you know, the tax credits, which were put by Joe Biden, who had to get extinguished,” Norman said.
Norman also pointed out that Trump could use the Executive Power to “improve the bill.”
But during this week’s negotiations, legislators could not extract any change in the bill.
However, the Texas representative, Chip Roy, an open conservative fire mark that led the public decline against the bill, argued that Freedom Caucus “has successfully delivered substantive victories,” before adding: “There may be some more even more.”
“The true story of the OBBB is to reform Medicaid to demand work And to return the expense to the levels prior to CO-COVID, saving more than $ 1 billion, “Roy published in X.” A modest but important reform that would not have happened if the @Feredomcaucus would not have fought for it. “
Georgia’s representative, Andrew Clyde, said “fought” to improve the Megabill, hoping to include an amendment to eliminate taxes on firearms, which the Senate was finally eliminated.
“I also had the opportunity to discuss this critical issue directly with President Trump in the White House. I hope to work with him and his administration to further restore our rights 2nd. They are attentive,” said Clyde.
While the firearms tax remains in the bill, Clyde said he finally planned to vote in favor of the package “because he supported the first Amazon of America of President Trump and the promises we made to the country.”
