House Republicans pass budget resolution, clearing a key early test for Trump agenda
By Claudia Grisales, Elena Moore
The future of President Trump’s domestic agenda cleared a decisive test in the House on Tuesday, as Republicans overcame internal divides over spending to pass a framework for a sweeping multitrillion dollar plan to address defense, energy, immigration and tax policy.
Tuesday’s vote was a critical step forward for House Republicans, as passage allows them to unlock a complicated legislative tool known as reconciliation. It’s a process that Republicans can use to avoid a filibuster from Democrats in the Senate, but in order to use it they had to first agree on a budget blueprint.
“We got it done,” Johnson told reporters following the vote. “This is the first important step in opening up the reconciliation process. We have a lot of hard work ahead of us, but we are going to deliver the America First agenda.”
House Republicans have a razor-thin majority, and needed virtually the entire conference to vote yes. Ultimately, the measure passed 217 to 215, with just one Republican voting against the budget resolution.
Tuesday’s vote marks an early step forward in what promises to be a lengthy and difficult path in passing the party’s policy priorities. The Republican-led Senate, impatient with delays on the House side, has already moved their own budget reconciliation plan forward. Now, the two chambers need to pass the same bill in order to move ahead.
