GOP Budget Stalled: House Republicans Fail to Pass Tax Cut Plan
Tap title to read story
House Republicans failed to pass a Republican budget framework due to opposition from conservative GOP members who demanded deeper spending cuts in exchange for tax breaks. Speaker Mike Johnson adjourned Wednesday's vote and plans to try again Thursday. President Trump urged passage, but at least a dozen Republicans, including members of the Freedom Caucus, opposed the plan, citing insufficient spending reductions and concerns about rising deficits. Disagreements remain between the House and Senate GOP regarding spending cuts and the debt limit, creating further hurdles in the budget process. Democrats criticized the plan as reckless.
