House Adopts Senate Budget Resolution As Conservatives Cave
HuffPost
After House conservatives balked on Wednesday, Senate Republican leaders said they would agree to stricter spending cuts.
WASHINGTON ― House Republicans adopted a budget resolution on Thursday after conservatives received symbolic assurances from party leaders that they would support deeper spending cuts.
About a dozen far-right House members balked at the Senate-approved resolution on Wednesday evening, forcing House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to put off a planned vote.
Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) appeared side by side Thursday morning to announce they’d reached an informal agreement to appease the holdouts.
“Our first big, beautiful reconciliation package here involves a number of commitments, and one of those is that we are committed to finding at least $1.5 trillion in savings for the American people while also preserving our essential programs,” Johnson said.
The House previously adopted a budget calling for $1.5 trillion in spending cuts, only for the Senate to ignore it and send over a budget with only $4 billion in cuts.
