“Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday was forced to delay a vote on the Republican budget blueprint to unlock President Trump’s domestic agenda, after conservatives balked at a plan that they said would add too much to the nation’s debt,” the New York Times reports.
“In a dramatic scene on Capitol Hill that laid bare Republican divisions, Mr. Johnson huddled with the holdouts in a room off the House floor for over an hour before the vote was scheduled to begin, grinding activity in the chamber to a halt as the measure’s fate hung in the balance.”
