As Republicans prepare to advance their ambitious tax cut plan and address the debt ceiling, internal tensions are becoming increasingly evident. Senate Republicans, while wary, are demanding clarity from leaders like John Thune as the clock ticks on their reconciliation efforts. House GOP leaders are urging the Senate to move forward with their budget resolution, yet divisions persist over spending cuts necessary to finance President Trump’s tax cuts. With deadlines approaching, lawmakers must navigate a complex landscape of fiscal policy, as Democrats remain unable to halt the Trump agenda, raising concerns over potential tax hikes or increased debt for Americans. While some GOP leaders express confidence in reaching a deal, the stakes are high as they confront both chamber tensions and challenges in securing consensus on key budget issues.
