With congressional Democrats unable to impede Donald Trump's 2025 plans, Republicans are strategizing to bundle his legislative agenda into a filibuster-proof reconciliation bill. However, disagreements within the GOP over the specifics of tax cuts and spending cuts present challenges to enacting this agenda. Constitutional budget rules limit deficit increases, complicating attempts to extend tax cuts and necessitating unpopular domestic cuts. As the House and Senate wrestle to align divergent budget resolutions, progress remains slow amidst entangled negotiations.
The administration and its congressional allies plan to bundle most of Trump's agenda in a budget-reconciliation bill that cannot be filibustered, allowing Republicans to push through.
The road ahead is long: The House and Senate have passed separate and different budget resolutions that must be reconciled for a cohesive legislative process.
