House Republicans narrowly approve a key budget framework that aligns with President Trump’s agenda, demonstrating party cohesion despite internal dissent.
In a pivotal moment reinforcing party solidarity, House Republicans voted 216-214 in favor of a crucial Senate budget framework on Thursday. This outcome presents a major accomplishment for President Trump as well as House Speaker Mike Johnson, who successfully united the GOP around this legislative proposal.
