The GOP-led House budget committee is moving forward with a one-bill plan to advance President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda. Rep. Ralph Norman, a member of the panel, mentioned that details are still being worked out after a budget committee meeting on Tuesday morning. Norman, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, indicated that there is growing agreement among members on the plan.
Norman dismissed the Senate’s two-bill strategy, stating that the House proposal includes more significant cuts, aligning with promises made to the American people. He highlighted that the Senate's plan is incomplete and lacks specific numbers in certain areas.
House members recently met with senators to discuss budget strategy, emphasizing that spending originates in the House. Meanwhile, Senate Budget committee chair Lindsey Graham criticized House Speaker Mike Johnson’s one-bill strategy, noting that the reality of the situation may require a different approach. Graham intends to hold a vote in his panel on a bill encompassing defense and border security funds on Wednesday.
