The House Energy and Commerce Committee is delaying a key vote on its portion of the package full of President Trump’s legislative priorities amid continued disagreements over potential cuts to Medicaid.

The panel had initially been planning to hold a markup — where the group debates legislation and votes on advancing it — on May 7, a committee aide previously told The Hill. But on Thursday, the panel informed members that it is now eyeing a markup the week of May 12, a committee source told The Hill.

Instead, the committee plans to hold member meetings Tuesday and Wednesday.

“The Chairman had a very productive conversation with President Trump at the White House today. In order to follow up on a few requests we are not marking up next week,” committee staff told members, according to the source. “Please hold the week of May 12th for our reconciliation markup, with Committee meetings beginning prior to votes on Tuesday.”
