House GOP Faces Internal Divisions Over Trump Agenda and Budget Cuts
As pressure mounts from both within and outside the party, GOP lawmakers are urging Speaker Mike Johnson to reconsider drastic spending cuts outlined in Trump’s proposed budget bill. With warring factions threatening rebellion, there are significant concerns about the potential impact on essential programs like Medicaid and food assistance. Despite efforts to push forward a grand budget resolution, Johnson struggles to unify the party, facing resistance from moderates wary of deep cuts. The House is set to vote on the budget resolution next week, but key Democrats are prepared to capitalize on any disunity among Republicans. The stakes are high as the GOP aims to establish its priorities for fiscal policy amidst rising criticisms of tax cuts favoring the wealthy.
