House GOP Bitterly Divided on Budget Resolution

“Speaker Mike Johnson will meet with members of the House Republican Conference tonight as GOP lawmakers are struggling to rally around a resolution that would jumpstart the reconciliation process,” Punchbowl News reports.

“Remember: Johnson and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said they would move a resolution through the House Budget Committee this week. Johnson set an incredibly ambitious goal of passing President Donald Trump’s agenda via one massive reconciliation package by the end of April.”

“But the House Budget Committee is deeply divided. Hardline Republicans want trillions of dollars in cuts. Johnson envisioned budgetary savings amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars.”
