Washington D.C. - Republican leaders are making a final push to pass their budget bill, with a vote expected possibly within hours. The bill faces a critical hurdle in the Rules Committee, and leaders are working to win over remaining holdouts. President Trump met again Wednesday with members of Congress who are still undecided on the bill, hoping to sway their votes.
The budget bill represents a key piece of the GOP's legislative agenda. Its passage is seen as crucial for implementing the party's economic policies. However, some Republicans have expressed concerns about specific provisions within the bill, leading to the current effort to secure enough votes for approval.
If the Rules Committee approves the bill, it will then proceed to a vote on the House floor. The outcome of that vote remains uncertain as leaders work diligently to address the concerns of wavering members and ensure the budget's passage.
