"The House will work quickly to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill that enacts President Trump’s full America First agenda by the Fourth of July. The American people gave us a clear mandate, and after four years of Democrat failure, we intend to deliver without delay," House GOP leaders said in a joint statement.
"This bill is President Trump’s agenda, and we are making it law. House Republicans are ready to finish the job and put the One Big Beautiful Bill on President Trump’s desk in time for Independence Day."
Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., told Fox News Digital on Monday that the House could start voting as early as Wednesday at 9 a.m. on the first procedural hurdle, with final passage possible later that day or Thursday.
House GOP leadership held a brief call with lawmakers on Saturday to discuss their expectations on the timing of the bill, while also urging them to air concerns with their Senate counterparts directly – rather than on social media.
SCHUMER FORCES READING OF TRUMP'S ENTIRE 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' AS SENATE BRACES FOR ALL-NIGHTER
Meanwhile, Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., and his team began taking temperatures in the House GOP conference remotely on Sunday, even as the Senate still considered the bill.
"We want to get on this as soon as possible, so be prepared," Emmer told lawmakers, Fox News Digital was told.
But a source familiar with whip team operations told Fox News Digital on Sunday that conservative fiscal hawks had concerns about the Senate's version of the bill, particularly after the parliamentarian said key provisions must be stripped out.

A source close to Rep. Young Kim, R-Calif., told Fox News Digital that she would vote against the bill if the Senate did not adhere to the House's Medicaid language on Saturday.

Rep. David Valadao, R-Calif., said in a public written statement, "I've been clear from the start that I will not support a final reconciliation bill that makes harmful cuts to Medicaid, puts critical funding at risk, or threatens the stability of healthcare providers across [California's 22nd Congressional District]."
"I urge my Senate colleagues to stick to the Medicaid provisions in H.R.1 – otherwise, I will vote no," Valadao wrote.
On the lawmaker-only call Saturday, both Johnson and Scalise urged Republicans to keep their negotiations and concerns about the bill private.
"They're not going to be reading your social media, so putting it there doesn't help. You need to reach out to them directly, they're in the thick of it," Johnson said, Fox News Digital was told.
