Plans for second GOP megabill face growing skepticism

(Politico) Republican hopes of pursuing a second major domestic policy package this year are running into major roadblocks as they confront a lack of consensus and a grand, unifying goal — like the extension of sweeping tax cuts that held the last megabill together.

The bearish view — already prevalent inside the Senate GOP — is now taking hold among some members of Speaker Mike Johnson’s leadership circle, after he was touting the possibility of a fresh party-line bill as he worked to push the first package across the line in July.

Still, House GOP leaders are forging ahead for now. They tasked their committee chairs earlier in the summer with assembling lists of proposals for a second budget reconciliation package, as well as program cuts to pay for them.
