House Republicans passed a budget resolution with a vote of 217 to 215, allowing them to proceed with a multitrillion-dollar plan addressing defense, energy, immigration, and tax policy.

The budget resolution enables the use of the reconciliation process, which allows Republicans to bypass a Senate filibuster by Democrats.

The budget plan includes a $4 trillion increase in the nation's debt limit and $4.5 trillion in tax cuts over the next decade, including the renewal of the 2017 Trump tax cuts.

The resolution requires $2 trillion in spending cuts, with specific details to be determined by individual House committees, raising concerns about potential cuts to programs like Medicaid.

The Republican-led Senate has already moved forward with its own budget reconciliation plan, and both chambers need to pass the same bill to advance the legislative process.
