House GOP Budget Resolution Faces Significant Opposition from Moderates and Hispanic Republicans

Recent discussions among House Republicans reveal deep divisions regarding a proposed budget resolution. Key moderate members of the party have expressed strong opposition to potential cuts to social programs, particularly Medicaid and benefits for vulnerable populations. Hispanic House Republicans have issued warnings against aggressive spending cuts, emphasizing the need for restraint while representing communities that heavily rely on these programs. As House Speaker Mike Johnson attempts to navigate these internal challenges, several Republicans from swing districts are voicing fears that deep budget cuts could jeopardize their electoral prospects. The budget bill faces significant hurdles, with some members pledging to withhold their support unless the proposed cuts are retracted.
