GOP hardliners threaten revolt over Johnson plan to implement Trump agenda

CNN  

Washington CNN — Speaker Mike Johnson’s budget plan is in trouble as multiple GOP hardliners seek last-minute changes that could risk support from the party’s centrist middle — jeopardizing leadership’s plans to kickstart President Donald Trump’s agenda in Congress. “As it stands, I think it falls short … but it’s work in progress, and we’ll keep working on it.” Rep. Ralph Norman, a South Carolina Republican who sits on the House Budget Committee that will vote on the measure Thursday, declined to say if he would support it and said he wants to guarantee that the final bill will include policy such as work requirements for Medicaid, as well as an anti-red tape bill called the REINS Act. A fourth member, Rep. Ben Cline of Virginia, said he is a “lean yes.” “You’ll find out tomorrow,” Clyde said when asked Wednesday how he would vote on Thursday. Bacon said he would “keep my powder dry” on how he’ll vote on the resolution but said he preferred Johnson’s earlier budget plan, which had more modest cuts. “I think the speaker had a better plan,” he said, referring to Johnson’s initial proposal of roughly $1 trillion in cuts.
