Johnson and Trump scramble to show agenda progress amid tariff tumult

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : Meanwhile, senior Republicans were heartened when Trump backed the reworked Senate plan in a Truth Social post, telling House and Senate Republicans to advance it "IMMEDIATELY."
55% : But for now, they're hoping Trump can simply force the holdouts to fall in line and finish up the budget plan this week.
55% : They expect Trump to stay involved in the process, calling and locking down support with the remaining holdouts in the coming days, as he promised Senate Republicans he would do in a White House meeting last week.
52% : Leaders believe that they will ultimately be able to muscle the budget measure across the House floor this week with a big hand from Trump, who successfully cajoled GOP holdouts on multiple crucial votes earlier this year -- including a recent spending bill, a prior budget vote and even Johnson's election as speaker.
47% : That's where Trump comes in.
41% : Luna, in announcing the deal, thanked Trump for intervening.
33% : For one, Trump will have to lean on a swath of fiscal hawks, not just one hard-nosed holdout.
31% : Trump, meanwhile, helped Johnson solve another problem that was threatening to upend his agenda: a bizarre and nasty intra-GOP dispute over proxy voting for new parents.
25% : Trump spoke to both Johnson and Luna last week about the dispute and even weighed in on it publicly, seeming to side with Luna on the merits of her legislation but deferring to Johnson on finding an accommodation.
