House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., revealed that Republicans are considering $1 trillion as a rough baseline for spending cuts as they gear up for a significant conservative policy overhaul. Scalise mentioned that they are close to the trillion-dollar mark but are still fine-tuning the details.
The Republican majorities in the House and Senate are working on implementing a large portion of President Donald Trump's agenda through the budget reconciliation process. This process allows the party in power to advance its agenda with a simple majority vote, bypassing opposition, as long as the items are related to budgetary or fiscal matters.
