Budget battle in the House
CQ Budget, Episode No. 348

Speaker Mike Johnson faces a rebellion within GOP ranks over a budget blueprint that squeaked through the Senate. CQ Roll Call’s Caitlin Reilly, Paul M. Krawzak and David Lerman assess the outlook for final adoption of a budget resolution and the big fights over Medicaid cuts and whether to pay for extending tax cuts — two key disputes that could trip up a GOP reconciliation bill.
Show Notes:
