House Budget Committee rejects Trump agenda bill in major setback for GOP leaders
- House Republicans failed on May 16, 2025, to pass a tax and spending package through the House Budget Committee in Washington, D.C.
- The failure followed opposition from a handful of conservatives demanding deeper Medicaid and green energy cuts, joined by all Democrats opposing the bill.
- The package included extending 2017 Trump-era tax cuts, new tax breaks, tripling SALT deductions to $30,000 for joint filers, and $1 trillion in health and food program cuts.
- The vote failed 16-21, with critics warning the bill would cut health coverage for millions and increase the $36 trillion national debt, while supporters claimed it would stabilize the economy.
- Lawmakers vowed to negotiate over the weekend, with Speaker Mike Johnson aiming to pass the package next week despite skepticism from analysts and conservative holdouts.
