House Republicans canceled all floor activity this week after a key procedural vote failed Tuesday. Nine GOP members sided with Democrats to block the vote, largely over opposition to stopping Rep. Anna Paulina Luna’s proxy voting plan for new parents.
Meanwhile, Senate Republicans, including Majority Leader John Thune, are meeting with Donald Trump to draft a major budget bill focused on tax cuts, border security, and energy. The talks will center on using budget reconciliation to bypass the filibuster and possibly address deficit reduction.
