Washington D.C. - The House Budget Committee will meet again late Sunday night to vote on President Trump's proposed budget, following a failed attempt on Friday due to opposition from conservative members. The initial vote saw the "big beautiful bill," as dubbed by the President, stall within the committee, highlighting divisions within the party regarding federal spending priorities.
Conservative lawmakers expressed concerns about specific provisions within the budget, leading to the deadlock. Negotiations are reportedly ongoing in an attempt to address these concerns and secure enough votes for the budget to pass through the committee and proceed to the House floor for a full vote. Analysts suggest that failure to pass the budget could lead to significant delays in government funding and potentially impact key policy initiatives.
Committee members are under pressure to reach an agreement before the upcoming deadlines. The Sunday night meeting is seen as a crucial opportunity to resolve the internal disagreements and move forward with the budget process. CBS News congressional correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns is closely following the developments and will provide updates as they unfold.
