Republican leaders say the Senate “must act” on passing the House budget resolution.
“The House is determined to send the president one big, beautiful bill that secures our border, keeps taxes low for families and job creators, grows our economy, restores American energy dominance, brings back peace through strength, and makes government more efficient and more accountable to the American people,” House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said in a joint statement with his leadership team.
“We encourage our Senate colleagues to take up the House budget resolution when they return to Washington,” they added. “This is our opportunity to deliver what will be one of the most consequential pieces of legislation in the history of our nation. Working together, we will get it done.”
The House and Senate return to Washington on Monday evening after a one-week recess.
The House last month adopted a budget framework for a multitrillion-dollar plan to address defense, energy, immigration, and tax policy.
It includes $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and $2 trillion in spending cuts that would dramatically reshape the federal budget. Senate Republicans passed their own version of a budget framework.
