Senate Republicans will vote this week on a budget blueprint that would unlock a key part of President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda.
“It’s time to act on the decisive mandate the American people gave to President Trump in November,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) wrote on X on Tuesday afternoon.
“Securing the border, rebuilding our defense, and unleashing American energy,” Thune wrote, starts by approving a plan from Senate Budget Chair Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).

Hours after Thune sent out that social media post, senators voted 50-47 on a motion to proceed to the resolution. A marathon session of amendment votes will happen before the blueprint’s adoption.
