House Republicans narrowly approved a budget resolution Tuesday that paves the way for $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and $2 trillion in federal spending reductions over the next decade.
The 217-215 vote occurred after a chaotic hour of canceled and then suddenly revived voting, highlighting the fragile Republican majority. This resolution enables Republicans to use the reconciliation process, which allows them to pass major fiscal legislation in the Senate with a simple majority, bypassing potential filibusters.
The plan sets up an internal GOP battle over which federal programs to cut to finance tax cuts that would primarily benefit wealthy Americans.
