Johnson says House on track for Trump budget vote within two days
- House Speaker Mike Johnson stated on Tuesday that the 1,116-page Republican budget reconciliation bill will advance to a vote within two days in the House of Representatives.
- The bill combines eleven House committee prints, fulfilling the GOP budget resolution’s spending and saving instructions while funding President Trump’s tax, border, and defense agendas amid ongoing challenges.
- This legislation temporarily eliminates taxes on tips and overtime, raises deductions for seniors, repeals over $500 billion in energy subsidies, cancels Biden’s student loan forgiveness, and imposes work requirements on some Medicaid and SNAP recipients.
- Johnson described the bill as a "nation-shaping piece of legislation," expressed he was "very confident" it will pass, and noted, "Failure is simply not an option" at a Tuesday press conference.
- The bill is projected to cost between $3.3 and $4.1 trillion over the next ten years, factoring in $1.5 trillion in savings, and includes an increase to the debt limit exceeding $4 trillion; it is anticipated to be approved by the House before Memorial Day.
