House Budget Committee rejects Trump agenda bill in major setback for GOP leaders

  • House Republicans failed to pass their tax breaks and spending cuts package in the Budget Committee on Friday in Washington, D.C.
  • The failure occurred because a group of conservative Republicans opposed the bill, demanding steeper Medicaid and tax break cuts, joining all Democrats who opposed the package.
  • The package aimed to prolong the 2017 tax cuts, increase the cap on local and state tax deductions from $10,000 to $30,000 for joint filers, and reduce spending on healthcare and nutrition programs by over $1 trillion to compensate for the lost tax revenue.
  • The 16-21 vote blocked the bill, described by Rep. Chip Roy as requiring change or losing his support and by Rep. Brendan Boyle as "unconscionable," while the nation's debt stands at $36 trillion.
  • The failed vote delayed House Speaker Mike Johnson’s plans to advance the package next week, prompting continued negotiations as Trump returned to Washington urging party unity.
