GOP Struggles to Pass Budget Resolution

House Speaker Mike Johnson is working to secure enough votes to pass a Republican budget resolution that aligns with President Donald Trump's legislative agenda. The resolution, which includes $1.5 trillion in savings, tax cuts, increased military spending, and border security enhancements, has faced resistance from fiscal conservatives in the House. Despite negotiations and pressure from Trump, the vote was postponed due to opposition from hardline Republicans who demand deeper spending cuts. Johnson remains optimistic, stating that he believes they now have the votes needed to pass the resolution. Senate Majority Leader John Thune emphasized the alignment between the Senate and House on the resolution's objectives, but internal GOP divisions persist. The situation remains fluid as Johnson continues discussions with holdouts to amend the proposal and possibly vote again soon.
