Trump Agenda

House Republicans have narrowly passed a budget resolution featuring significant tax cuts and spending reductions, advancing President Trump's domestic agenda. The plan includes $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and $2 trillion in spending cuts, sparking debate over social safety net programs and fiscal responsibility.

In a pivotal election, Senator John Thune of South Dakota has been elected as the Republican leader in the U.S. Senate, positioning himself to become the majority leader in January 2024. This leadership change signifies a move towards consensus-building away from Trump's more hardline influences, as Thune is recognized for his institutionalist approach and emphasis on party cohesion.
