After abruptly halting votes, House Speaker Mike Johnson vowed to try again Thursday to approve a Republican budget framework, having worked into the night to satisfy GOP holdouts who refused to advance trillions of dollars in tax breaks without deeper spending cuts. Even a hefty push from President Donald Trump couldn't heave the package to approval. Johnson was forced to abandon Wednesday's scheduled action as the Republican hard-liners left him without enough support and risked upending what the president calls the “big, beautiful bill," which is central to his agenda of tax cuts, mass deportations and a smaller federal government. But Thursday morning, Johnson stood with Senate Majority Leader John Thune at the Capitol and assured they were on track seeking as much as $1.5 trillion in cuts.
