After narrowly advancing their budget late Tuesday — following some Capitol Hill drama over a handful of GOP holdouts — House Republicans took no time in dunking on their Senate counterparts.
With some 11th-hour wrangling, Republicans rescued their reconciliation bill, which includes several key provisions such as $4.5 trillion in tax reductions over the next decade, massive spending cuts of $2 trillion over 10 years, and a $4 trillion increase in the national debt ceiling.
Senate Republicans passed their own version last week, and now GOP lawmakers in both chambers must reconcile significant differences between the two frameworks.

But House Republicans took a swipe at their Senate counterparts after the vote.
"Today, House Republicans moved Congress closer to delivering on President Trump's full America First agenda — not just parts of it. This momentum will grow as we work with our committee chairs and Senate Republicans to determine the best policies within their respective jurisdictions to meet budgetary targets," wrote Rep. Lisa McClain, chair of the House Republican Conference.
House and Senate Republicans have sparred over budget approaches this year, with key points of contention including over one "big beautiful bill" versus two. The House has proposed one comprehensive budget blueprint that includes Trump's tax cuts, spending reductions, and policy reforms, while Senate Republicans proposed breaking the MAGA agenda into two bills.
Additionally, House Republicans have struggled to find at least $2 trillion in spending cuts to satisfy both Trump and hardline deficit hawks, while the Senate's plan avoided specifying major spending cuts.
A showdown over Medicaid could also be in instore, the House budget blueprint left open the possibility for Medicaid cuts, as Senate Republicans largely sidestepped the issue.
Democrats have already gone on the offensive — blasting Republicans for what they called a vote to "gut Medicaid."
McClain said her chamber has "full confidence in their ability to chart the best path forward."
"While there is still much more to do, we are determined to send a bill to President Trump's desk that secures our border, keeps taxes low for families and job creators, restores American energy dominance, strengthens America's standing on the world stage, and makes government work more effectively for all Americans," she said.
