Johnson says they "have the votes" to pass budget resolution
CBSN
Washington — House Speaker Mike Johnson announced Thursday morning that they "believe they have the votes" to pass a budget resolution and plan to move forward later in the morning with a vote in the House, as House Republicans have been trying to get a budget blueprint for President Trump's agenda over the finish line.
Negotiations had continued into Wednesday night, as Johnson and the White House struggled to convince GOP holdouts who wanted deeper spending cuts. The lower chamber was set to vote Wednesday evening on the budget resolution but punted after several House conservatives resisted increasing pressure from Mr. Trump to accept the blueprint that would open the door to implementing his border security, defense, energy priorities and extending expiring tax cuts.
"I'm happy to tell you that this morning, I believe we have the votes to finally adopt the budget resolution so we can move forward on President Trump's very important agenda for the American people," Johnson told reporters Thursday morning on Capitol Hill.
