Senators leapfrog House Republicans on anticipated Trump budget bill
Fox News
Republicans in the Senate are looking to push for a vote on a reconciliation bill plan next week, getting out ahead of the House Republicans and steering the process in a different direction.
The first bill would include Trump's priorities for border security, fossil fuel energy, and national defense. The second bill would focus on extending Trump's tax policies from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA).
