House Republicans who have not been able to cobble together a budget bill that they can send to the floor for a vote are being warned by members of Donald Trump's inner circle that they will face his wrath in the coming week.
According to a report from Politico's Rachel Bade, the president is furious with the House Budget Committee for failing to reach an agreement on his "big beautiful" bill which led to a flurry of attacks from Trump on Truth Social as returned from his trip in the Middle East on Friday.
As the report noted, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is on the spot, pointing out, "This has mostly been Johnson’s problem to solve, and he and other GOP leaders have tried to be sensitive to not pulling Trump in too early to fix their problems."

With Bade writing, "There’s an internal understanding that they need to do most of the cleanup on their own before calling dad and tattling on the naughty kids," one White House insider texted to Bade, "Republicans on the Hill need to figure their s--t out.”
“My assumption is Trump’s going to get involved — I don’t know what that looks like yet,” said one GOP aide with the report adding Trump is not going to "be happy" that he has to twist the arms of the balking GOP lawmakers who are kept him from coming home to a win for his administration.
As one Trump insider put it, "Voters gave them a once-in-a-generation opportunity to pass a good bill. And for those who vote against, they should know their careers are in jeopardy.”
