"Let's not lock ourselves into anything right now until we actually get the reconciliation package,” U.S. Rep. Zach Nunn, an Iowa Republican, said.

The Senate plan, passed last week, does not include Medicaid cuts. The Senate budget resolution omits tax policy but sets the spending agenda to enact Trump’s border, defense and energy policies, punting negotiations on tax policy to a later date and breaking up the spending plan into two separate measures.

Rep. Jeff Van Drew said the President “understood” his concerns, which are also shared by a number of other Republicans.
