House and Senate Republicans are racing each other this week to see who can advance President Trump’s sprawling domestic agenda, as the two chambers move forward with their contrasting legislative strategies.
In the House, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Republicans are vowing to keep working on a budget resolution to advance Trump’s priorities in a single bill, despite such an agreement eluding them for days. The chamber is set to blow through another self-imposed deadline as lawmakers remain at odds over key issues.
In the Senate, meanwhile, top Republicans are moving on an effort to advance Trump’s agenda in two separate bills, as the conference grows impatient with the House’s lack of progress.
The chamber v. chamber battle comes as GOP lawmakers are eager to enact items of Trump’s wish list, but remain in disagreement over the best strategy to do so — with neither side willing to back down.
