House Republicans managed to pass a joint budget resolution from the Senate, a framework that will allow Republicans to proceed with writing their own budget bill for passage later this year.
The House passed the joint resolution 216-214, with the only no votes coming from Victoria Spartz and Thomas Massie:
🚨🚨 THE HOUSE has passed the joint budget resolution.
216-214
Win for @SpeakerJohnson and Trump.
Now they need to craft a reconciliation package with 1.5T in cuts.

Speaker Johnson predicted they would get this done and they did. But it will just be harder going forward as they write the bill…
