The House Budget Committee has passed the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025. This marks a key step for House Republicans to advance President Trump's America First agenda. The committee approved the resolution with a vote of 21 in favor and 16 against.

Chairman Jodey Arrington, a Republican from Texas, expressed his support for the resolution. "The resolution passed out of Committee today is a blueprint to right-size the bloated federal bureaucracy, rein-in the reckless spending that spurred record inflation, and roll back the barrage of burdensome regulations that are crushing our small businesses," he stated.

Arrington emphasized the importance of this moment in history. "It’s time to meet this generational moment and join President Trump in making the tough decisions that preserve our republic for our children and grandchildren. This is our last, best shot to do it. This is the only comprehensive deal Congress has on the table to get the job done. Let’s get to work!"
