House Republicans came together to pass a budget resolution on Thursday that was endorsed by President Donald Trump.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) was able to muster a 216-214 vote in favor of the resolution, despite defections from GOP members Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.).
Johnson and the White House reassured hardline House Republicans that they would get the $1.5 trillion in spending cuts they are seeking.
“It was a good day in the House,” Johnson told reporters after the vote. “I told you not to doubt us. The media always does. The Democrats always do. But we get the job done, and we’re really grateful to have had the big victory on the floor just now.”
Pennsylvania’s delegation voted along party lines. Here is some of their reaction.

Today Republicans voted to advance their irresponsible budget. New vote, same old playbook: slash Medicaid, increase costs, and decimate programs for families, vets and older Americans. Plus the rubber stamp Republicans voted to limit Congress’ ability to stop Trump’s reckless…

Today, House Republicans are bringing a drastic bill to the floor that would make it harder for millions of minority voters, married women, service members, and rural voters to register to vote.
This bill is a problem in search of solutions and voter suppression at its worst.…
