The Republican-controlled House passed a budget framework, supported by GOP leadership and President Trump, with Mike Johnson securing the passage by convincing holdouts. The plan, which includes $2 trillion in spending cuts over a decade, faced criticism from Democrats, who highlighted its significant Medicaid cuts and called it extreme. President Trump was involved in persuading some holdouts, focusing on border security and tax cuts. The framework, though a major win for Johnson, must now navigate the Senate, which may modify it. This marks the first legislative victory of Trump's second term and underscores Johnson's influence in unifying the caucus.
