House Republicans are plowing ahead with a budget resolution markup on Thursday before the chamber’s scheduled one-week recess begins the following day.
The blueprint wasn’t finalized yet and leadership also has some work to do in preparation for the floor, with key holdouts looking for assurances on things like spending cuts and raising the statutory debt ceiling.
But Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said after the GOP conference’s weekly meeting Tuesday that the “intention” was to mark up the blueprint in committee on Thursday after hammering out the details Tuesday. “We’ll be rolling out the details of that probably by tonight,” Johnson said. “We are right on the schedule that we need to be on.”
