Johnson faces fraught week as House takes up Trump budget blueprint

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : The body will kick off legislative business on Monday at around 5:30 p.m. with a vote to advance Elbridge Colby's nomination to be under secretary of Defense for policy.
41% : First, the Senate's blueprint asks each chamber to find a different amount of spending cuts, with the Senate facing a far smaller number: Senate committees are directed to find at least $4 billion in cuts to federal spending, with the House mandated to find at least $1.5 trillion.
21% : "From budget gimmicks to a pathetic $4B in spending cuts, the Senate's budget resolution is a non-starter," Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.), who is also part of the Freedom Caucus, wrote on X. While Johnson's budget resolution problem is worsening by the day, there is one key detail that could help him muscle the measure through his conference: Trump endorsed the legislation and urged Republicans to "pass it IMMEDIATELY." The president is almost certainly going to be needed to get involved in uniting the House GOP conference around the measure.
