GOP leaders — with some help from President Donald Trump — are scrambling to round up Republican support for a two-year, $2.7 trillion budget deal as the House moves toward a vote on the package Thursday afternoon.
House Republicans should support the TWO YEAR BUDGET AGREEMENT which greatly helps our Military and our Vets. I am totally with you!"It helps,” Scalise said. But Scalise added, “We’ve heard from a lot of members who said they’re voting no, no matter what. But this helps with some of those members who are on the fence.”
“I support the budget," Cheney said. "It’s not a deal I would have done. It’s not a deal that we would do if we were in the majority. It shows you why elections matter. But the importance of being able to get a defense number, that is a sufficient number, is important.“ Outside pressure to support the deal is also intensifying, with the powerful Chamber of Commerce urging House lawmakers in a letter on Thursday to vote for the budget agreement and warning that the organization “will consider including votes on this legislation in our annual How They Voted scorecard.”Sign Up
