NextImg:BREAKING: House passes Budget rule, next step is the budget…. – The Right Scoop

House Republicans barely managed to get a rule passed so that they can advance the budget to the floor for a final vote. Three Republicans voted against the rule, and more will vote against the actually budget when it comes to the floor.

The vote on the rule passed 216-215, with Thomas Massie, Victoria Spartz and Mike Turner siding with Democrats.

There were some who voted for the rule, who will vote against the budget resolution in its current form.

Here’s more from The Hill:

The chamber voted 216-215 along party lines to adopt the rule, which governs debate for legislation, the last step before the entire House weighs in on whether to adopt the measure. Three Republicans voted with all Democrats against adopting the rule. A final vote is slated for around 5:30 p.m.

Three Republicans voted with all Democrats against adopting the rule: Reps. Thomas Massie (Ky.), Victoria Spartz (Ind.) and Mike Turner (Ohio).

Turner said he will be a “yes” on the budget resolution on passage, but he was opposed to procedural language in the rule that turns off the ability to force a vote on repealing Trump’s “liberation day” tariffs for 90 days.

While most hardliners stuck with their party to advance the budget resolution, many are vowing to vote against the measure when it comes up for a final vote, brushing aside heavy lobbying from President Trump.

Reps. Chip Roy (R-Texas), Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), Andy Harris (R-Md.), Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) and Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), among others, have said they will oppose the budget resolution later on Wednesday despite supporting the procedural vote.

“While I will vote for the rule out of respect for the chairwoman and the process, I will not vote for this bill because it is not responsible,” Roy said during the Rules Committee meeting.

The opposition, if it sustains, would be enough to tank the resolution when it hits the floor for a vote later on Wednesday. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) can only afford to lose three GOP votes, assuming united Democratic opposition and full attendance, a margin that leaves little room for error.
