House Republicans’ budget proposal to advance President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda is facing serious headwinds with several GOP members suggesting they will vote against the bill.
Speaker Mike Johnson is facing a pivotal moment in his leadership over the House to pass a budget resolution advancing the president’s first-year tax and spending priorities — the first step of the budget reconciliation process — this week. Though Johnson says the House is on track to hold a vote on the resolution as early as Tuesday, several GOP holdouts could force House GOP leadership to delay the vote.
“I think we look good,” Johnson told reporters Monday evening. “I mean we’re having very productive conversations. As you all know, this is all part of the process and I think we’re on track.”
Johnson is attempting to pass the president’s agenda in “one big, beautiful bill” as he leads the smallest House majority in American history.
