lawmakers sounded the alarm over cuts the bill would make to ethanol and biodiesel subsidies, which could have a significant impact on rural districts.Multiple House Republicans said they think leadership can revise the bill to get closer to the 218 votes needed for passage.

Garret Graves , a McCarthy ally tasked with leading negotiations, said leadership will instead seek to "better explain a few of the text provisions.
"I think we're in very good shape, we just rolled it out yesterday," McCarthy told reporters on Thursday. Some House Democrats welcome negotiations, with several calling on President Biden to sit down with McCarthy.And some GOP moderates think Democrats can help them in the other direction, forcing conservatives to compromise on SALT.
“We think that on the next round, when there's a bipartisan effort, that probably doesn't include the Freedom Caucus folks … that's when we can shoehorn SALT through,” one House Republican told Axios.
