Republicans In Disarray As Mike Johnson Postpones Vote On Senate Budget
HuffPost
Trump urged House Republicans to "close your eyes and get there," but they just don't want to do it.
WASHINGTON — House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) postponed a key budget vote Wednesday in a setback for President Donald Trump’s domestic policy agenda.
About a dozen far-right members had said before the vote was scheduled to happen that they would oppose the resolution, but Johnson pushed forward anyway.
The speaker held open a previous vote for more than an hour as he haggled with the holdouts, only for them to keep on holding out. Johnson finally gave up and said he would try again on Thursday.
Adopting the budget is a key part of the legislative process Republicans are using to enact Trump’s plan to extend the temporary tax cuts he enacted in his first term, plus increase funding for border security in an eventual piece of legislation nicknamed the “big beautiful bill.”
The setback came shortly after Trump scaled back tariffs he’d just imposed on U.S. trading partners, another signature economic policy that remains unsettled.
