WASHINGTON — Speaker Johnson, Majority Leader Scalise, Majority Whip Tom Emmer, and Republican Conference Chairwoman McClain issued the following statement after the House Budget Committee completed a successful markup and passed the FY25 budget resolution out of committee:
“The budget resolution has passed through committee and House Republicans have now cleared a critical hurdle to delivering on the major priorities of President Trump’s America First agenda. From the outset of this process, we sought to ensure participation from every member of our conference and make clear that this resolution reflects our collective commitment to enacting the President’s full agenda – not just a part of it.
“This is the start of the process, and we remain laser-focused on ultimately sending a bill to President Trump’s desk which, among other things, secures the border, keeps taxes low for families and job creators, restores American energy dominance, and makes government work better for all Americans.”
