The government is having trouble deciding how to pass new laws. Some want one big bill, while others want two smaller bills.
The House and Senate Republicans disagree on the best way forward. The Senate wants to split the bills for different issues, like border security and military spending.
But the House wants to combine everything into one bill, including extending tax cuts and more. The senators worry a tax bill will delay important immigration plans.
Some conservatives in the House want more spending cuts before supporting any bill. They think spending should go back to pre-pandemic levels.
The House and Senate are running out of time to agree on a plan. They need to get things done before Trump's popularity decreases.
Both sides want to make progress and pass new laws, but they can't agree on the best way to do it. The House might have to compromise with the Senate to move forward.
