Speaker Johnson moves on Senate’s Trump budget bill as House GOP rebels threaten to defect

House Republican leaders are pushing forward a plan to enact President Trump’s agenda after the Senate passed its version of the budget resolution early Saturday morning.

 

Speaker Mike Johnson and other GOP leaders are rallying members to support a reconciliation package aimed at reducing the deficit, securing the border, cutting taxes, and restoring American energy dominance.

However, some House conservatives are critical of the Senate’s version, arguing it lacks enforceable spending cuts. The Senate plan proposes $4 billion in cuts, while the House’s version calls for $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion.

Despite differences, House leaders are confident that the final reconciliation bill will meet their goals. The next step involves committees working together to finalize the bill’s provisions, with the aim of having it on Trump’s desk by the end of May.
