Thune, Bullish Barrasso on the budget agreement immediately after the Easter break
EXCLUSIVE: A day after the Chamber passed its version of the “Big Beautiful” bill required by President Donald Trump, the Republican leaders of the Senate were confident on the prospects of an agreement that met when the legislators return from the Easter/Easter break.
“The Republicans have a bold agenda. Before we pass it, before we can reverse the damage that the Democrats have done in the last four years”, Whip of the majority of the Senate John BarrassoR-Wyo., He told Fox News Digital, while the Senate leaders made a high dollar promise at the beginning of the week.
“The American people need certainty that they will not have to face the increase in the taxes of the democrats of $ 4 trillions,” said the legislator, whose role is to “whip” or the planned republican votes in front of them who have been expressed on the floor.
Leader of the majority in the Senate John Thune Of South Dakota remains under pressure to deliver $ 1.5 trillion of budget cuts that he promised to guarantee some of the votes from the conservatives of the Waffling House. The version of the Senate Bill which was approved at the beginning of this month required only $ 4 billion in shopping cuts, a massive discrepancy from the version of the room.
Ak Sen literally destroys Biden’s energy orders
In exchange for their votes, Thunes and Barrasso must convince the Senate Gop and members with concerns for potential cuts of medicaid or law that will not be part of the considerable slice.
In addition, the debt roof is expected to be hit during the summer, that even the Republicans will have to deal with financial accounts. A non -adjustment of that ceiling could lead to the default value.
Trump’s great and beautiful tax agenda marks the important victory
However, Thune was equally optimistic as Barrasso to push Trump’s agenda, saying that the agenda of the upper chamber will be “full” in general.
“Other nominations to confirm. Further biden rules to repeal. A tax invoice – and border, energy and national security invoice – to continue drawing up,” he said.
Speaking with Fox News Digital, Thune said that the committee leaders were working during the holidays for a varied legislation scheduled to come to votes immediately after their return.
“And, of course, the allocation season is almost upon us. And I am committed to considering as many invoices as possible for the appropriations below regularly,” he said.

The regular order refers to the enrollment of invoices through the committee process, which Thune has previously stated that it promotes bipartishan and trust between legislators and parties.
Government practices by continuous long -term resolutions, or CR are considered antithetical to the regular order.
Barrasso said the American people must know that republicans It will be stopped for investments in national energy and borders safety in their post-east return.
“Our goal is to make this bill pass and sent to the president’s desk as quickly as possible. We will work every day until it is finished.”
Fox News Digital contacted the leader of the minorities of the Senate Charles Schumer, DN.Y., for a comment on the short -term plans of the Democrats, but has not received an answer.
The bill of the house on Thursday has generally passed along the party lines, after the tax conservatives have widely opposed to the financial data.

The number of suspensions of the Gop was finally reduced to two – Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Victoria Spartz of Indiana – who voted with the Democrats, even if for ideologically opposite reasons.
“Our first big, beautiful pack of reconciliation here includes a series of commitments. And one of these is that we are committed to finding at least 1.5 trillion dollars of savings for the American people, also preserving our essential programs,” said the speaker of the Mike Johnson house, R-la. ,.
