WASHINGTON — House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer said Wednesday he expects President Joe Biden to submit his fiscal 2023 budget request shortly and believes congressional leaders and the White House could strike a topline discretionary spending deal as soon as this month.
The president’s budget request, which is statutorily required to be submitted in February but comes later than that most years, typically kicks off the appropriations process.
“The budget coming down from the president is necessary,” Hoyer, D-Md., said. “I’m hopeful that will happen either late this week or next week.”
