Thune Wants to Step on the Gas

Punchbowl News: “Senate Republicans are attempting to speed up consideration of a compromise budget resolution, stepping on the gas to pass President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda.”

“Senate Majority Leader John Thune told Republican senators during their closed-door lunch that the Senate might begin voting on a budget resolution next week. That’s a full week earlier than expected.”

“The potential acceleration comes one day after Thune and Speaker Mike Johnson met with top Trump administration officials in an attempt to bridge the gaping divide between the Senate’s narrow budget resolution and the House’s far broader budget plan.”
