The conflict over strategy comes as top House Republicans met Thursday with Trump, who has indicated a preference for a one-bill approach but largely steered clear of the dispute.

Senate Republicans are moving full steam ahead with their plans for a massive conservative policy overhaul through the budget reconciliation process, despite House GOP leaders still insisting their chamber is set to go first.
