Part 6/8:
The Role of the Senate
As the House grapples with its budget issues, the Senate has already passed its budget resolution, setting the stage for a recovery bill that will address tax reform later in the year. This two-bill strategy, which has received mixed feedback from President Trump, allows the Senate to tackle immediate concerns separately from longer-term fiscal adjustments.
In response to the House's apparent delays, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has indicated that moving forward with the Senate's proposal is necessary to ensure that essential funding gets allocated without unnecessary delays, potentially adding pressure to the House to coalesce around its framework.
