House Republicans’ reconciliation package hit a wall in the Budget Committee, where conservatives may block the measure today over complaints that it front-loads tax cuts and delays spending reductions.

There are at least three conservative members on the panel who oppose the bill, barring changes. GOP members can only afford to lose one vote, partly because Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) has been out of Washington on paternity leave.

Reps. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), Chip Roy (R-Texas), and Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) all plan to oppose the measure, unless their problems are resolved. There are a handful of other fiscal hawks on the panel who could jeopardize the vote including Reps. Josh Brecheen (R-Okla.) and Lloyd Smucker (R-Pa.)
