The House Budget Committee will reconvene over the weekend to vote again on approving the GOP’s party-line tax and spending package, after conservatives tanked the same vote Friday morning.
The panel is officially scheduled to gavel back in at 10 p.m. on Sunday, with negotiations expected in the meantime among GOP leadership, conservative holdouts and the White House. As a condition of their support, fiscal hawks are demanding major revisions to the more than 1,100-page measure, including imposing work requirements on Medicaid recipients to kick in sooner than 2029.
Clinching approval of the megabill in the Budget Committee is essential for staying on schedule to tee up a floor vote on the package next week — and meet the House GOP leadership’s goal of passing the legislation central to President Donald Trump’s domestic agenda in time for Memorial Day recess.
