Key House committee advances Trump agenda bill after appeasing conservatives
Politics,Donald Trump,US House,Republican Party,Spending Bills
The House Budget Committee advanced President Donald Trump’s multitrillion-dollar domestic policy package Sunday night, two days after a group of conservatives voted to reject it.
The vote was 17-16 along party lines, with the four Republicans who opposed the bill in committee Friday voting "present."
The outcome is a positive sign for the massive party-line bill after a significant setback Friday, but it will still need changes before it secures the votes to pass the full House. And if it does, it will face plenty of challenges in the Senate, where Republicans have made it clear it won't pass without major changes.
