House Budget chair floats framework for advancing Trump agenda in closed-door meeting

Source: The Hill

“House Budget Committee Chair Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) floated a framework for advancing President Trump’s legislative agenda during a private meeting of panel members Tuesday morning, sources told The Hill. Arrington explained the latest blueprint to committee members shortly before he told lawmakers during a closed-door meeting of the broader House GOP conference that his panel will take up a budget resolution on Thursday, an ambitious timeline for the group that has thus far struggled to coalesce around a plan. The committee has officially scheduled the Thursday meeting. The framework Arrington outlined — according to two sources and Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), who sits on the panel — includes a $1.5 trillion floor for spending cuts with a $2 trillion target, a structure meant to give committees flexibility when crafting the package, one of the sources said.” (02/11/25)
