ABC News reported that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) will meet with President Donald Trump and House Republicans to discuss budget resolutions on Thursday.
Johnson, R.-La. said, “This is a part of the America First agenda. We look forward to furthering the discussion. It’s going to be a great meeting.”
He added that the leadership is “working towards a single-bill strategy”.
House efforts have stalled to start the budget reconciliation process, which allows Congress to fast-track certain types of legislation and avoid the 60-vote threshold typically required in the Senate.
However, progress has been made.
House Majority leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) said on Wednesday, ahead of Trump’s meeting, that he felt “very confident” Republicans will reach a consensus over the budget plan.
Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), a key holdout in the House Budget, said on Wednesday that a revised GOP agenda blueprint could be released this week.
Norman stated on Wednesday, “We are working on the full text.” “But, I’ll tell you what, the work we’re doing is promising.”
Senate Republicans said on Wednesday that they would move forward with their plan for budget reconciliation and split GOP priorities into two separate bills.
Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told reporters that while he appreciated the House’s efforts, it was important to get [border czar] Tom Homan all the money he needed to finish the plan Trump promised.
