Live updates: Trump, House GOP to huddle on budget; Senate set vote on Vought despite Dem protests
President Trump is set to huddle with GOP leaders on Thursday at the White House to hammer out details on his budget priorities.
But sorting this out may be easier said than done.
“I take it that the House and Senate leadership are having a hard time getting on the same page,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) said.
Senate Republicans have called for a two-part budget bill while the House GOP is pushing for a one-bill blueprint, exposing conflicting strategies within the conference on how to enact the president’s agenda.
Trump's almost certain to get a win in the Senate later Thursday, as Russ Vought's nomination to lead the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) comes to a vote. Senate Democrats are digging their heels in ahead of the vote.
After the Senate voted along party lines to advance Vought’s nomination, Democrats stayed in the chamber overnight to make the case against the Project 2025 architect overseeing the government’s budget.
This all comes as a federal buyout deadline looms as agencies have ramped up pressure on employees, sending frequent reminders about the Thursday deadline.
