Today is a big day for the future of President Trump’s agenda. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is desperately hoping to pass the budget resolution today despite major pushback from Republicans.

Reminder: The budget resolution is essentially a placeholder bill to get the ball rolling.

Is the vote actually happening today: “There may be a vote tonight. There may not be,” Johnson told reporters this morning. “Stay tuned.” 🤔

Where the votes stand:

  • No: Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio)
  • No: Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.)
  • No: Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.)
  • No: Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.)

On the fence: Several more have signaled resistance behind the scenes, The Hill reports.........
