House Republicans are facing challenges as their massive budget reconciliation bill is at risk due to at least two GOP lawmakers threatening to vote against it. The bill, which aims to advance President Donald Trump's priorities on border security, defense, taxes, and energy, is scheduled for a vote on Tuesday.
With the GOP holding a slim majority, Speaker Mike Johnson can only afford one defector to pass the bill along party lines if all Democratic lawmakers are present. Rep. Tim Burchett and Rep. Victoria Spartz have already expressed opposition to the legislation, citing concerns about government overspending.
