Senate Republicans have introduced a new budget resolution aimed at advancing key elements of former President Donald Trump's agenda, including tax cuts, border security, defense spending, and energy policy.
The 70-page blueprint grants significant authority to Senate Budget Committee Chair Lindsey Graham, allowing him to determine whether proposed tax cuts would increase the federal deficit. The plan is designed to bypass some legislative hurdles and expedite the passage of Trump's priorities. However, it notably avoids addressing how to fund these initiatives, leaving a major fiscal question unresolved.
The move sets the stage for a contentious budget process and potential vote-a-rama in the Senate.
