President Donald Trump told House Republicans on Sunday that if they stand in the way of his push for broad tax reform, it could come back to hurt them in the 2018 midterm elections.

In a conference call Sunday, which also included Vice President Mike Pence, Trump told the House GOP to approve the Senate’s version of the budget framework, which was passed Thursday night, to pave the route for tax reform.

Sources familiar with the phone call told Fox News that Trump warned of big trouble for House Republicans in the approaching midterms if they fail to advance tax reform. It was unclear if he got into any more detail.
