Fate of Trump’s legislative agenda in peril as GOP holdouts balk at House budget proposal

House Republican budget proposals to promote President Trump’s legislative agenda face serious headwinds in which several GOP members suggest vote against the bill.

Speaker Mike Johnson faces a vital moment around the House of Representatives this week to pass a budget resolution that will advance the president’s first year tax and spending priorities (the first step in the budget adjustment process). I’m doing it. Johnson says the House is on track to vote for the resolution as early as Tuesday, but several GOP holdouts allow GOP leadership to delay the vote.

“I think it looks good,” Johnson told reporters Monday evening. “We’re having a very productive conversation. You know, this is all part of the process and I think we’re on track.”

Johnson is heading the majority of the smallest home in American history, and is about to pass the president’s agenda with “one big, beautiful bill.”

The House budget resolution approves a deficit increase of up to $4.5 trillion, implements the president’s tax agenda and aims to cut spending between $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion. The House resolution also approves a $4 trillion increase in statutory debt restrictions.

Senate GOP leadership is the first to give the president an early victory in border security and defense spending, and advocating a two-bill approach that focuses on Trump’s tax agenda later this year. The Senate passed a budget proposal that would be slimmer along the party’s line on Friday.

Trump approved the House budget proposal on February 19, and will pass a budget resolution this week despite the Senate and several members vehemently opposed to a budget plan that could increase the deficit. It increased the pressure on Johnson to vote.

Thomas Massey of Kentucky, Tim Barchett of Tennessee, and Thomas Massey of Victoria Spartz of Indiana have proposed voting “no” in the current version of the home’s budget resolution. House GOP leadership can afford to lose just one Republican vote given the current single-seat majority.

Massey, who frequently voted for government spending bills and opposed Johnson’s bid in January, fears that the upcoming budget bill, which will be unlocked by the passage of budget resolution, will add to the country’s growing $36 trillion debt I quoted.

“If the Republican budget passes, the deficit will get worse and not get better,” Massey said. I wrote it X Monday.

Burchet told reporters he was also opposed to the current version of the bill. He advocates for deeper spending cuts and a permanent extension of the 2017 Trump tax cut.

Republican lawmakers see the biggest tax cuts in recent US history, when Americans and businesses see the largest tax cuts and employment law provisions that Trump signed to law during the first administration have not been extended this year. It claims to be.

House GOP leadership is working to sue moderate GOP lawmakers who are concerned that the upcoming spending cuts could affect Medicaid benefits and access to food assistance programs.

Republican New York State Rep. Nicole Mariotakis tends to vote for the resolution after reporters were assured Monday evening that certain Medicaid policy changes, such as federal Medicaid funding, have not been considered. He told reporters.

“There’s a lot of space to deal with problems without hurting beneficiaries,” Mario Takis said. I said Reporter.

The Heritage Foundation director of the Federal Budget Center Heritage Foundation, Richard Stern, previously told the Daily Call News Foundation that the House Energy and Commerce Committee could identify approximately $500 billion in Medicaid payments over a decade. The committee also said changes could be made. Federal Energy Policy to Find Additional Savings.

Johnson expressed confidence that House GOP leadership could convince enough skeptical members to ultimately support the passing of the budget resolution.

“We’re going to take everyone there,” Johnson told Fox News’ Guy Benson on Monday at an American-sponsored event. “This is a prayer request. We pray for this for us because it is a very high interest. And everyone knows it.”

“No one wants to be in front of this train. They want to be involved in it,” Johnson continued. “This can be a historic moment for our party and our principles. And this is the first step of what will be a lot of steps. It’s day to day.”
