House Republicans are convening in Miami for their annual retreat, focusing on strategizing how to advance President Donald Trump's agenda through the intricate budget process in Congress. The three-day gathering will feature a series of sessions and meetings aimed at charting a path forward for the GOP-led Congress.

The schedule for the retreat reveals that Monday's activities will be primarily social, culminating in Trump's anticipated speech to the conference later in the evening. Tuesday's agenda includes a presentation on the 2026 midterm strategy by House GOP campaign arm chairman, Richard Hudson, a town hall meeting with conference leaders, and a session dedicated to the budget process.

Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to meet with House Republicans on Tuesday afternoon, followed by discussions with individual committee chairmen regarding policy provisions to be included in the reconciliation budget bill. The ultimate goal is to translate Trump's agenda into legislative action, starting with the adoption of a non-binding budget blueprint by the GOP-controlled Congress.

Speaker Mike Johnson aims to have the budget blueprint on the House floor by the end of February, paving the way for the drafting of binding reconciliation legislation that can bypass Senate filibusters. The timeline set by Johnson calls for House approval by May, although the process is expected to be challenging given the narrow majority held by Republicans.

As House Republicans gather in Miami, the focus remains on navigating the complexities of the budget process to advance Trump's policy priorities and deliver on campaign promises. The retreat serves as a crucial opportunity for lawmakers to align on strategy and mobilize support for the legislative agenda ahead.
