The Republican budget debate shifts back to the House this week ahead of a two-week recess.
The House plans to take up the budget resolution amended by the Senate following last week’s vote-a-rama — that is, assuming the House floor is operational after last week’s standoff that led to Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., sending lawmakers home after Republicans did not get the votes to adopt a rule providing for the week’s floor agenda.
The internal dispute was over leadership’s effort to deny Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., an opportunity to get a vote on a measure to allow proxy voting for new parents, despite the fact that Luna had reached the signature threshold for a discharge petition.
