House Budget Chairman Jodey Arrington has announced the successful passage of H.Con.Res.14, a budget resolution he introduced. This resolution is intended to be the first step in the reconciliation process for Republicans aiming to implement President Trump's America First agenda.

In a statement following the vote, Chairman Arrington expressed his enthusiasm: “WOW! House Republicans just passed my budget resolution that provides the fiscal framework for what will be one of the most consequential pieces of legislation in modern history and the principal legislative vehicle for delivering on President Trump’s America First agenda,” said Chairman Arrington. He further urged the Senate to act promptly, emphasizing the need to address issues such as fiscal health, spending control, community safety, and economic growth.

The resolution is seen as a critical component in advancing Republican priorities under President Trump's leadership. It has been endorsed by Trump himself and is expected to play a significant role in shaping future legislative efforts.
