WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republicans who control the U.S. House of Representatives faced growing internal opposition to their current plan to advance President Donald Trump's tax-cut and border agenda, prompting Speaker Mike Johnson to acknowledge that a planned vote might not happen on Tuesday.

Johnson faced push back from several lawmakers in his 218-215 majority whose support he needs to deliver on Trump's $4.5 trillion tax-cut plan, which would also fund the deportation of migrants living in the U.S. illegally, tighten border security, energy deregulation and military spending.
