President Donald Trump threw his support Wednesday behind the House’s budget blueprint — throwing a curveball into the Senate’s plan to vote on a competing version this week.
Trump, in a Truth Social post, said both chambers are “doing a SPECTACULAR job of working together” but added that the House budget was preferable because it would fold all of his priorities together instead of separating them into two bills like the Senate GOP plan would.
“We need both Chambers to pass the House Budget to ‘kickstart’ the Reconciliation process, and move all of our priorities to the concept of, ‘ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL.’ It will, without question, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump said in the post.
Trump’s announcement comes the day after Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) announced that the Senate would take up its budget framework this week.
