US EditionHouse Budget Committee rejects Trump agenda bill in major setback for GOP leaders
- House Republicans failed on May 16, 2025, to pass their tax and spending package in the House Budget Committee in Washington, D.C., with a 16-21 vote.
- The rejection stemmed from dissent among conservative GOP members demanding steeper spending cuts, especially to Medicaid and green energy tax breaks, complicating Speaker Mike Johnson's agenda.
- The legislation included extending Trump-era 2017 tax cuts, new tax breaks such as no taxes on tips and overtime, and slashing over $1 trillion in health and food assistance, risking millions losing coverage.
- The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated 7.6 million fewer insured people and about 3 million fewer monthly SNAP recipients under the bill, while Moody's projects deficits rising to nearly 9% of GDP by 2035.
- The failed vote delays the bill, forcing weekend negotiations as Republicans face pressure to unify and finalize the package before the self-imposed deadline next Friday amid growing GOP resistance.
