House GOP tries again to push Trump's budget package forward after setback
Read Original Source
Washington — President Trump's domestic policy bill cleared another hurdle in the House late Sunday after conservatives rebelled Friday over concerns the legislation does not contain steep enough spending cuts.
AI Summary
Main Idea: House Republicans moved President Donald Trump’s budget package forward again after conservatives briefly stalled it over deeper spending cuts.
Key Points:
- The House Budget Committee approved the bill on a second try after four conservative holdouts changed their votes to present.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson said talks produced only minor changes and that the bill is still on track for a vote before Memorial Day.
- The package would extend Trump-era tax cuts, end taxes on tips and overtime for now, and boost military and border spending.
- Conservatives want tougher Medicaid work rules and faster cuts to clean energy subsidies, while some Republicans from blue states are also pushing on SALT.
