In a stunning reversal, House Speaker Mike Johnson and team have taken a 180-turn, and voted in favor of advancing President Donald Trump’s agenda.
Minutes after delaying a crucial vote on the Republican budget blueprint, Speaker Mike Johnson called members back to the floor, where the House narrowly approved the measure, 217 to 215.
Rep. Thomas Massie was the sole Republican to oppose the resolution. Meanwhile, several GOP lawmakers who had voiced concerns and hinted at opposition— including Reps. Tim Burchett, Warren Davidson, and Victoria Spartz—ultimately voted in favor.
The successful vote marks a win for Johnson, who pushed forward despite uncertainty over whether Republicans had the necessary support.
This vote is just the first step in a long process. The Senate has already passed a separate, more focused budget resolution centered on border security and national defense. Both chambers must agree on a unified version to advance President Donald Trump’s agenda.
