Speaker Mike Johnson faced difficulties in passing a Republican budget blueprint aimed at advancing President Trump's agenda, initially pulling the bill from the floor before reviving it moments later. The proposed legislation, which was not supported by Democrats and faced dissent from some Republicans, aims to cut taxes by $4.5 trillion, reduce mandatory spending by $2 trillion, and boost defense spending by $100 billion, while raising the debt ceiling by $4 trillion. Securing House approval is critical for moving forward with the broader agenda.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) initially pulled the Republican budget blueprint due to a lack of votes, but then revived it for another vote shortly after.
The proposed budget includes significant tax cuts, mandatory spending cuts, and increased defense spending, alongside a substantial rise in the debt limit.
