House Republican leaders emerged late Thursday from a roughly three-hour meeting without an agreement on the contours of the massive budget reconciliation package they’ve been talking about for weeks.
But they planned to work through the weekend ironing out details with a goal of marking up the blueprint needed for the filibuster-proof bill early next week.
Speaker Mike Johnson said he’ll be working Saturday and through Sunday’s Super Bowl taking place in New Orleans — in his and Majority Leader Steve Scalise’s home state of Louisiana. President Donald Trump, who hosted House GOP leaders for several hours to discuss reconciliation earlier in the day, is slated to attend the game Sunday.
