House Conservatives Reject Trump's Budget Blueprint Despite Pressure

House Republicans are facing significant internal divisions over a Senate-approved budget plan backed by President Trump, with several hardline conservatives, including Reps. Chip Roy and Keith Self, opposing the measure due to its perceived insufficient spending cuts. Despite Trump's personal appeals to rally support, many lawmakers remain unconvinced, arguing that the proposed budget would not adequately address deficits. Some Republicans, like Rep. Andy Ogles, predict a high number of 'no' votes, potentially jeopardizing the resolution's passage. Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing for a vote before the House recess, but he can only afford to lose three votes amidst expected Democratic opposition. The ongoing dissent highlights a rift within the party over fiscal priorities and strategy. As hardliners remain resolved against the plan, the future of the budget resolution hangs in the balance.
