US EditionJohnson says Budget Committee meeting is on for Friday, but holdouts remain
- House Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed the House Budget Committee will meet on Friday to vote on the GOP legislative package.

- Norman stated, "You do those three things, we'll get it through," referring to accelerating Medicaid work rules, expediting green-energy credit rollbacks, and blocking benefits for illegal migrants, with House leadership pledging to amend the bill accordingly.
- The vote outcome will determine if the package advances out of committee, with Johnson predicting progress but leadership still managing intra-party resistance.
