Now that House Republicans have passed their “big, beautiful” budget reconciliation bill, both parties are poised to make Thursday’s early morning vote a central point of their midterm messaging.
Democrats asserted that the GOP budget hurts working Americans and helps billionaires, declaring that the vote would help deliver them control of the House next year. Republicans, by contrast, argued voters will reject Democrats who voted against more money for border security and extending the 2017 tax cuts.
“House Democrats just signed their own political death warrant,” Mike Marinella, a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said in a statement.
