Trump urges GOP unity on budget move as Johnson fends off floor rebellion
President Trump pressed House Republicans to back a budget resolution that would unlock a broader reconciliation package, urging Speaker Mike Johnson to shore up support amid intraparty opposition with only four days before the summer recess. The plan includes elements of the SAVE America Act on elections, plus funding for defense, government operations, farmers, and the military, while hard-liners demand tighter spending controls. Johnson faces a tight vote calculus as lawmakers weigh NDAA, government funding, a stock-trading bill, and related provisions, aiming to avoid a shutdown and clear the floor. In other news, Elizabeth Warren endorsed Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, signaling continued battles within the party’s progressive and moderate wings.
