GOP conservatives warn Speaker Johnson: Don’t go through with budget vote

Ultraconservative Rep. Andy Ogles has walked the plank for President Donald Trump on politically tough bills before, but, this time, Trump’s pressure campaign doesn’t appear to be working.
Ultraconservative Rep. Andy Ogles has walked the plank for President Donald Trump on politically tough bills before, but, this time, Trump’s pressure campaign doesn’t appear to be working. After speaking to a White House official on Tuesday night, the Tennessee Republican remained unswayed, and even personally warned Speaker Mike Johnson to not bring the party’s contentious budget measure to the floor. “It’s going to fail,” Ogles recalled telling Johnson of the Senate-passed blueprint for Trump’s agenda. Ogles is among more than a dozen Republicans who are defying Trump on his push for a Senate GOP budget measure that tees up huge tax cuts and trillions of spending to hike the debt limit — all while committing to pay for just $4 billion of it. Republicans like Ogles are refusing to commit to that budget plan until their party leaders can guarantee a serious deficit reduction push, including from the Senate. While Trump and GOP leaders’ fierce whip operation has limited some of those defections – down from as many as 50 members earlier this week – Johnson still faces a huge vote problem with his own conference as he attempts to pass the Senate measure Wednesday night. One potential off-ramp emerged Wednesday.
