Tap title to read story
Republicans narrowly passed a budget resolution, paving the way for a bill with substantial spending cuts and tax reductions. The plan includes extending Trump-era tax cuts and potentially enacting further reductions, but faces internal disagreements, particularly regarding Medicaid cuts. Conservatives demand at least $1.5 trillion in cuts, while moderates and those facing reelection express concerns. Democrats criticize the plan as favoring wealthy households and predict a difficult political battle ahead for Republicans.
