"The budget resolution has passed through committee and House Republicans have now cleared a critical hurdle to delivering on the major priorities of President Trump’s America First agenda," they stated. The leaders emphasized their commitment to involving every member of their conference in the process and ensuring that the resolution aligns with President Trump's full agenda.
They further noted, "This is the start of the process, and we remain laser-focused on ultimately sending a bill to President Trump’s desk which, among other things, secures the border, keeps taxes low for families and job creators, restores American energy dominance, and makes government work better for all Americans."
The passage marks an important step for House Republicans as they advance their legislative goals aligned with President Trump's policy priorities.
