Meanwhile, a group of GOP lawmakers in less ruby-red districts are still undecided over potentially severe cuts to Medicaid and other federal programs to offset the cost of Trump's priorities.
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., told reporters there was "somewhere between six and 10" House Republicans who needed more clarity on where spending cuts will fall.
"If I don't get answers, I'm not going to vote for it," Malliotakis said. "But if I can get some clarity and assurances, then you know, we're moving a little bit more toward the ‘yes’ column."
Malliotakis said on the way into Johnson's office Monday that there was "a lot of seniors and people with disabilities" in her district, "and I want to make sure they're not gonna get harmed in this process."
Rep. Juan Ciscomani, R-Ariz., who was also part of that meeting, called it "helpful" but did not commit to supporting the bill.

The bill aims to increase spending on border security, the judiciary and defense by roughly $300 billion, while seeking at least $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion in spending cuts elsewhere.
As written, the bill also provides $4.5 trillion to extend Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) provisions, which expire at the end of this year.
