Donald Trump’s signature economic legislation stalled in the House Wednesday afternoon as the president worked to win over Republican fiscal conservatives angry over the $3.4 trillion cost of his massive tax and spending package.

Republican congressional leaders delayed a key procedural vote for hours while the hardliners met in a room just off the House floor to refine their demands and then meet with the Trump’s budget director, Russ Vought. 

Vought told reporters the two sides were “making good progress” as he left the session late in the afternoon. Earlier in the day, Trump summoned the conservative holdouts to the White House to meet with them in person.
