Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

The House Budget Committee has passed a budget resolution by a 21-16 vote, laying the groundwork for significant tax cuts and spending reforms tied to Trump's agenda. This decision, however, has faced steep opposition from Democrats who argue it will disproportionately benefit the wealthy while harming vital welfare programs like Medicaid and SNAP. House Speaker Mike Johnson emphasized the need for bipartisan support as both chambers pursue differing strategies for budget reconciliation, with tensions brewing over how the legislation will advance through Congress. The resolution's success could hinge on further negotiations between the House and Senate Republicans.
