Trump tells House GOP to back budget plan: "Close your eyes and get there"
CBSN
Washington — President Trump is trying to break through Republican opposition that's threatening a budget plan that's key to extending his tax cuts, which are set to expire this year.
At a fundraiser for House Republicans Tuesday night, he told GOP holdouts to "close your eyes and get there." Earlier in the day, he met with some of them at the White House, urging them to back the budget resolution adopted by the Senate Saturday.
But more than a dozen members have balked at the low level of spending cuts in the Senate resolution — just about $4 billion — compared with the nearly $1.5 trillion in cuts in the House version. The budget resolution serves as a blueprint for implementing Mr. Trump's border security, defense, energy and tax priorities.
