House approves Senate blueprint for ‘big, beautiful’ Trump budget bill

House Republicans narrowly adopted a compromise budget resolution Thursday, allowing them to finally unlock the legislative process they need to actually begin drafting President Trump’s “big, beautiful” agenda package. The compromise measure cleared the lower chamber in a 216–214 vote, with two Republicans — Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) — opposing it.
