Summary
House Republicans are racing to finalize a $3 trillion budget package at Trump’s urging, with permanent tax cuts, deep spending reductions, and funding for mass deportations and the U.S.-Mexico border wall.
In the House, Speaker Mike Johnson needs almost complete unanimity from his ranks to pass any bill over objections from Democrats.
In the Senate, Republicans have a 53-47 majority, with little room for dissent. Senate Republicans favor a phased approach, starting with a smaller $300 billion bill.
Internal GOP divisions persist over spending cuts, with conservative factions demanding deeper reductions.
