USD: Speaker Johnson Eyes Tuesday Floor Vote On Budget Resolution

USD
USHomepagemarkets-real-timePolitical RiskPolitical Risk BulletBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange BulletsNorth America

Punchbowl News reporting on X that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is eyeing a Tuesday floor vote for a budget resolution to unlock reconciliation on a mammoth package that will cover the bulk of President Donald Trump's agenda. The timeline is a tight turnaround for the House, with at least 10 Republican House Reps reportedly wavering on the package due to concerns over deficit implications and speculated cuts to welfare programmes. 

  • Comes after the Senate passed a budget resolution to underpin a narrower defence/border security/energy bill early this morning following an all-night 'vote-a-rama' in the Senate. That resolution, endorsed by Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and Budget Committee Chair Lindsay Graham (R-SC), will provide optionality as a 'Plan B' if Johnson can't whip backing for his broader blueprint- the preferred strategy for President Trump.
  • If the House successfully passes their budget blueprint, horse trading will get underway to synchronise the two chambers around an identical resolution that will unlock the reconciliation process – the procedural mechanism by which the governing party can bypass the Senate filibuster to pass legislation along party lines.
