House GOP, Trump Meet to Discuss Budget Resolutions Amid Impasse

House Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, are meeting with President Trump to align on budget resolutions critical to his administration's priorities. With a government shutdown looming, GOP leaders are working on a one-bill strategy to fast-track legislation through budget reconciliation. Senate Republicans, however, are advancing their own budget plan, which diverges from the House's approach, focusing on defense and border security funding. The Senate's plan, spearheaded by Lindsey Graham, aims to provide early wins for Trump, while House members seek consensus amid internal divisions. Trump’s administration is also pursuing cuts to federal employment, with reports of significant buyouts offered to federal employees. The contrasting strategies between the House and Senate highlight the ongoing struggle within the Republican Party to unify around a cohesive legislative agenda.
