Wall Street Journal reports Senate Republicans are focusing on extending President Donald Trump 's tax cuts.

The Senate will instead focus its efforts solely on extending the tax cuts for another 10-year stretch.

This means elements of the House Republican bill, like cutting Medicaid by roughly $880 billion and slashing federal spending by approximately $1.5 trillion , will be excluded from the Senate 's framework.
