AboutN Tuesday night, it looked like Donald Trump’s agenda would face his first major failure.
The President of the house Mike Johnson called on the vote on the budget resolution to enable lawmakers to pass “One big, beautiful account“The President seeks increasing the consumption of defense, border safety and increased energy research, with the expansion of tax reductions signed in 2017. years.
But it looked like a minority leader in Hakeem House, Jeffries got better than him. The tail. Brittany Pettersen, who just gave birth three weeks ago, flew from Colorad to block the account. Florida Frederica Wilson, who often missed voices, appeared, as did the tail. Kevin Mullin from California, who recovered from blood clot after surgery.
Tim Burchett, the Avuncular Conservative Congressman from Tennessee who was eager, gave the Fistbump Democratic tail. Sarah Mcbride. Like journalists were waiting for Johnson, the tail. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said, “We’re breaking the funeral.”
But the budget resolution was barely on the ground when Johnson pulled out a strangulation of revival as Burchett as well as reps. Victoria Spartz from Indiana and Warren Davidson from Ohio everyone turns, and the resolution passed.
But now comes in a heavy part. Resolution is not actual policy. Instead, simply parameters for politics Republic legislators want to pass. Last week, Senate and House have returned back and back to convey the bill first.
The large division was whether the Senate wants to approve two accounts that would be later dealing with tax cuts, would pass in front of the house. The Senate passed the bill last week, but the household repairs believe that this will pass this will give them an upper hand.
“This is important for the house so the house can actually be in the driver’s seat,” she said, “said the house by the majority whip of Tom Emmer Independent Before whipping voting.
Last week, Trump seemed to be the side with the house, when he said he preferred his approach. But the upper chamber doesn’t take too kind to what to say what to do. Both the Minister of the White House for Print Karolina Leavt told reporters before the vote that Trump would review both proposals.
Senate Thom Tilly from North Carolina, which is a re-selection in North Carolina, the Republicans needed for realization of tax cuts, 2017. years, and Trump signed its first year in office.
“Voters will absolutely repel the Republicans for failing to fulfill that promise, period,” he said Independent. Tax cuts, one of the Trump’s only legislative achievements during its first term, expires at the end of this year if the Congress does not work.
Trump, of course, promised a number of other tax provisions on the campaign trail, in the range of non-taxation of advice, overtime or social security. It also wants to fix the lid on the state and local tax deduction that he presented the account for 2017. year to pay some other tax cuts.
“But at the same time, we have to work on a significant debt reduction and implement reform, so it is a lot of work to be able to bring in reconciliation,” he said. But some of that will need a hard work and get bipartisan support.
In addition, the legislation calls for the Energy & Commerce Committee to find a reduction in the amount of $ 880 billion. This has led not to worry that this would affect Medicaid, a health program for people with small incomes and people with disabilities, which is the responsibility of energy and trade.
“No matter what happens forward in this budget process, it is clear that the huge majority of house republics want to reduce Medicaid, they want to be wrapped in Medicaid,” McBride said Independent before the vote.
Some Republicans deny that they want to see that the Federal Government is taking measurements on Medicaid. Rich McCormick, which last week saw his anger for the Department of ELON musk’s government for government efficiency (Doga) in his bright-red district in Georgia, said he wanted to see the Federal Government off Medicaid.
“The more we can push to state level, less waste, scams and abuse,” he said Independent. “So it is much more responsible at the local level than we are on the federal level.”
But Democrats are not the only ones concerned about the reduction of Medicaid. Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri, which fashion fashion as a populist pro-work republican said, said he did not want to see drug reduction.
“Requests for work, okay,” he said Independent. But he noted how big a piece of his condition on Medicaid or Children’s health insurance program (chip). “People rely on those things and do people. I think we better be really careful there,” he stressed.
Trump for your part He said during an interview with musk Fox News That Medicaid would not be affected. This makes it difficult for republicans to move to see how to violate the promise by the leaders of their party.
Trump was never one for entering the weed of politics. This means that the Republicans will enter the negotiations on this law with a little direction.
If the wrong way is done, it could lead to an account that fails, or one that serves as a live grenade for Democrats to use the GOP, come in 2026.
