GOP budget chair vows to 'make another run' at Trump policies cut from budget

Several provisions of President Donald Trump'smega-budget bill that were cut for parliamentary reasons could resurface in future legislation, Politico reported Tuesday.

House Budget Chair Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX) told the outlet during a news conference that Republican lawmakers are formulating a plan to include parts of the bill that violated the Byrd Rule in future legislation. The Byrd Rule requires that all aspects of a budget bill must have direct impacts on spending or revenue, and cannot include extraneous matters like domestic or foreign policy.

Several parts of Trump's budget bill did not align with the Byrd Rule, according to the Senate parliamentarian. Some examples include a moratorium on federal AI regulations for 10 years, provisions that restrain judicial powers, and energy permitting regulations.

"I think we should make another run at that and look for ways to structure the provisions so that it’s more fundamentally budgetary in impact and policy,” Arrington told Politico on Tuesday. “I suspect that’s why they were kicked out.”

Arrington's comments come at a time when Democrats are still trying to figure out their message to voters following the passage of Trump's so-called "One Big, Beautiful Bill Act." The bill is estimated to increase the national deficit by between $3 trillion and $4 trillion. The bill also includes new work requirements for Medicaid members, which could cause more than 11 million people to lose their health insurance.

Arrington told Politico that the bill's impact should inspire Republicans to come back to the table and ensure the bill saves American voters money.

“That was a concern among conservative budget hawks,” Arrington told the outlet. “When I think about the Budget Committee’s role going forward, one of the things that we need to do … is keep the pressure on the Senate, on the House and the administration to be diligent in implementation and enforcement.”
