House GOP Divided Over Budget Plans as Senate Prepares to Act

Internal disagreements among House Republicans stall progress on Trump's budget agenda, while Senate Republicans consider taking the lead.

Speaker Mike Johnson faces resistance from House GOP hardliners demanding deeper spending cuts and clarity on funding for Trump's tax plans.
House Republicans have delayed a committee vote on the budget blueprint due to internal disagreements over proposed savings and spending priorities.
Senate Republicans, led by Lindsey Graham, are prepared to move forward with their own budget resolution if the House remains gridlocked.
The proposed budget includes $100 billion for border security, expanded energy drilling, increased defense spending, and plans to extend the 2017 tax cuts later in the year.
Both chambers must adopt identical budget measures to unlock procedural tools for advancing Trump's legislative agenda without a Senate filibuster.
