A recent meeting House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) held with the House Republican Conference on President Donald Trump's major legislation broke down amid bickering between groups of lawmakers.

That's according to a Wednesday article in CNN, which reported that negotiations quickly spiraled out of control when Republicans argued over funding for Medicaid. While the far-right House Freedom Caucus insists on cutting the health insurance program that helps provide care for millions of low-income and disabled people, more moderate House Republicans and those from swing districts want to spare the popular program from steep cuts.

Moderate Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.) said that the House of Representatives "cannot be its own worst enemy" if it aims to pass legislation given its slim seven-member majority. And Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-N.Y.), who represents a swing district in Long Island, is warning his fellow Republicans that the cuts they're clamoring for could have real-world consequences that may cost them in next year's midterm elections.

"I don’t want to be mean,” Garbarino told CNN. “And I think any time it looks like we’re actually hurting people, that’s gonna p--- off the American population. And if you p--- them off, they’re probably not going to vote for you.”
