"The Senate passed, on a 50-48 vote, a budget resolution that sets up a narrowly crafted reconciliation bill pre-funding immigration enforcement to the tune of $70 billion between now and the end of Donald Trump's presidency."
"Now that this is over, House Republicans have to decide whether to accept the skinny resolution or insist on broadening it to include other right-wing priorities, as MAGA ultras would prefer."
"Speaker Mike Johnson is trying to sell his fractious House Freedom Caucus members on a deal to 'eat your skinny-bill broccoli now, then chow down on a third bill later' but is encountering resistance."
The Senate approved a budget resolution for $70 billion in immigration enforcement funding, with a 50-48 vote. This resolution is part of a reconciliation bill aimed at pre-funding immigration enforcement until the end of Donald Trump's presidency. The process involved a lengthy vote-a-rama where Democrats challenged Republicans with politically sensitive amendments. House Republicans now face a decision on whether to accept this narrow resolution or push for broader right-wing priorities, amid concerns about passing further legislation before the midterms.
