Tap title to read story
House Republicans will attempt a second vote on Thursday to pass the budget resolution, crucial for President Trump's legislative agenda. Conservatives initially blocked the plan due to insufficient spending cuts, demanding at least $1.5 trillion in savings. Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune expressed confidence in securing passage, emphasizing a commitment to significant fiscal responsibility and alignment between the House and Senate on spending reductions. Success would initiate the process for Trump's priorities, including tax cuts and increased defense spending.
