House approves budget resolution in narrow 216-214 vote
Just the News ^ | 4/10/25 | Charlotte Hazard

The House on Thursday passed a budget resolution after delaying an earlier vote to lock up GOP support.

The resolution passed in a 216-214 vote.

Republican Reps. Thomas Massie, Ky., and Victoria Spartz, Ind., voted against the resolution.

The budget resolution is critical to advancing President Trump’s legislative agenda on the southern border, tax cuts and energy policy, as it allows Republicans to avoid a Senate filibuster by Democrats.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said during a press conference Thursday morning that he had the votes in order to move Trump's agenda forward.

President Donald Trump praised the passage of the bill on TRUTH Social.

What;’s up with Spartz? Greasy Haired Massey is a NUTCASE, but I thought Spartz had a brain.

If those two Dem reps hadn’t died recently, this resolution might not have passed, potentially derailing the Trump domestic agenda.

To be fair there is a lot to dislike about this bill but it needed to pass. If it hadn’t the chaos would have frozen Trumps agenda. He has enough weight dragging him down with the hack judges.

Not exactly.

One of the dead Democrats has already been replaced.

That gives them the 214 they have now.

When AZ replaces the other dead Democrat they will reach their max number of 215.

I never heard of spartz but massie is a pimp.

The long and short of it is ...The USA and President Trump WON... BBBIIIIGGLY.

The Big Beautiful Bill is just starting and it will be rocky, but in the end, it will pass and the demonRATs are going lie in the bed that they have crapped in {with diarrhea}.

Huh? Which dead Dem has been replaced are you talking about? There have been no special elections for dead Dems this year.

The next dead Dem special election is 9/25 in AZ and then 11/4 in TX

No. The Rs knew how many votes they needed and would have had them no matter what. The two Rs had the luxury of, and permission to vote no.

Note: for a change two dead DemoKKKrats didn’t vote. Their seats won’t be filled for months.

Both have temps in the place of the dead. Their max is still 213.

Just like Rand Paul, this guy Rep. Thomas Massie is worthless. Doesn’t do any good to elect Republicans in save red states that are going to vote against you all the time...

The tax cuts had to go through and work on spending next year.

Well, we got 2 replacements, Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine in Florida for Gaetz and Waltz, and Elise Stefanik decided to stay in the House and forgo the UN job. So that’s plus 3 GOP.

Spartz was born in Ukraine and has some interesting political positions.
