The Senate GOP budget plan designed to usher President Trump’s sweeping domestic priorities into law is getting an ice-cold reception from Republicans in the House, where conservatives are balking at the low levels of mandated spending cuts and the heightened deficits that could result. 

But after Trump’s endorsement of the plan, House Republicans face enormous pressure to give the president a victory on his top campaign promises, including an extension of tax cuts, new limits on immigration and a boost in domestic energy production. That pressure will likely grow in the face of the fallout from Trump’s new tariffs, which sent markets plummeting on Thursday and threatened a global recession. 

The budget debate is just the latest challenge for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and his leadership team, who are already struggling to resolve an internal battle over proxy voting for new parents — one that’s shut down floor activity indefinitely — and will soon confront the dilemma of how to approach the Senate budget blueprint in the face of the uproar within their House GOP conference.
