Speaker Mike
Johnson (R-LA) pulled a Republican budget blueprint from the floor on
Tuesday night after it became clear he did not have the votes to pass it
– only to revive and pass it moments later.
Republicans hold a narrow 218-215 majority in the House, and no Democrats had pledged to vote for the bill. The measure ultimately passed, with one Republican voting against.
The legislation, which is supported by President Donald Trump, would cut taxes by a whopping $4.5 trillion while cutting $2 trillion in mandatory federal spending, which covers programs such as Medicaid.
