Trump Backs House Budget Plan, Medicaid Cuts Possible

President Donald Trump has publicly endorsed the House Republicans' budget plan, advocating for a single comprehensive bill that combines border security, military funding, and tax cuts. This contrasts with the Senate's two-bill strategy, initially led by Senate Budget Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, which separates these issues to expedite immigration and defense funding. Trump's endorsement aims to unify GOP efforts and leverage the budget reconciliation process, allowing for passage with a simple majority. The House's plan, which includes extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts, faces challenges due to potential spending cuts to programs like Medicaid, leading to undecided moderate Republicans. Trump's backing of the House plan emphasizes his commitment to implementing his full 'America First' agenda in one legislative move. Meanwhile, the Senate has initiated procedures to advance its own resolution, despite Trump's clear preference for the House's approach.
