Trump’s agenda hangs in balance as House GOP leaders gamble on committee vote
- On May 16, 2025, Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republican leaders pushed forward a crucial Budget Committee vote on a comprehensive bill aimed at reducing taxes and government expenditures at the U.S. Capitol.
- The vote followed intense negotiations and amid opposition from a bloc of right-wing Republicans demanding stricter Medicaid cuts and deeper reductions to clean energy credits.
- The committee reached an impasse as five Republican members—representing South Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia, and Pennsylvania—voted against the bill due to concerns such as postponed Medicaid work requirements and the continued regulation of gun suppressors.
- Speaker Johnson and leadership could only afford to lose two votes, and with five no votes the bill was blocked, marking a major setback that Trump called out by urging Republicans to "STOP TALKING, AND GET IT DONE!"
- This failed committee vote complicates plans to pass the bill next week and forces House leaders to continue intense negotiations to win holdouts without alienating moderates.
