GOP narrows to $80B reconciliation plan with defense up front and farm aid scaled
House Republicans are converging on an ~$80 billion budget reconciliation package—roughly $67 billion for defense and $11 billion for farm aid—with no offsets and calls to include SAVE America Act elements, aiming for a summer floor vote but facing fiscal hawk pushback; the day’s agenda also includes a House vote to make daylight saving time permanent (308–117) and ongoing debates over immigration policy and other reconciliation provisions, as leadership pushes for a Budget Committee markup and a concrete framework despite intra-party divisions.
