House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that he will be meeting with Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Wednesday following the House's narrow passage of its budget blueprint on Tuesday night. Johnson expressed his preference for minimal changes to the final budget resolution during the meeting.
The House successfully adopted a comprehensive budget blueprint after Johnson worked diligently to persuade hesitant members. President Donald Trump also played a role in the process by making last-minute phone calls to garner support for the plan. GOP leaders dedicated the entire day on Tuesday to a vigorous campaign to secure approval for their proposed budget.
