House Republicans Clash Over Medicaid Cuts, Senate Pushes Trump Agenda

House Republicans are facing internal divisions over critical issues that could derail their plans to advance President Trump's legislative agenda. Speaker Mike Johnson indicated that a budget resolution might be delayed as the House grapples with contentious topics like raising the debt limit and tax cut funding. Meanwhile, GOP hardliners are pushing for deeper cuts to Medicaid, which has prompted warnings from swing-district Republicans that such measures could jeopardize their majority in the House. The GOP leadership aims for spending cuts of $1.5 trillion, while more conservative members are advocating for cuts of at least $2 trillion. As the House struggles to unify its approach, the Senate is moving forward with a different, smaller budget blueprint. This legislative race highlights the challenges facing Republicans as they attempt to align their strategies while navigating significant spending disagreements.
