The Leader’s Floor Lookout: Tuesday, February 25, 2025

Here’s what to watch for on the House Floor today:
 
Outlining One Big, Beautiful Bill to Pass President Trump’s Agenda and Deliver for Americans

In the reconciliation process, there are two main steps: 1) passing the budget resolution that unlocks the committees' ability to develop legislation that meets certain objectives, and 2) passing the reconciliation legislation that meets those objectives. The budget resolution acts as a blueprint that lays the foundation for the reconciliation bill. 

Today, House Republicans are bringing forward a budget resolution to pave the way for passage of one comprehensive bill that delivers on President Trump's America First agenda. The House budget resolution provides the foundation for Congress to deliver on the mandate the American people gave us and President Trump to secure the border, unleash American energy, prevent the largest tax hike in American history, advance pro-growth economic policies, and bring common sense to Washington rules and regulations. 

As we have already seen through the diligence of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), for too long the federal government has been hard at work finding new, ridiculous ways to spend American taxpayer dollars – our bill ends that by calling for $1.5 trillion in mandatory savings. This is a major step to reduce spending, lower inflation for families struggling across the country, and put our country on a fiscally responsible path. 

The budget resolution provides a framework to cut burdensome regulations, government waste, and taxes for hardworking Americans. Small businesses and families cannot thrive when most of their money goes to inflation or taxes – we need to be encouraging innovation, small business growth, and hard work, not discouraging it. Additionally, the resolution ensures that President Trump has the resources he needs to secure our border and keep America safe by calling for $300 billion for border security and defense.

House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington’s legislation, H. Con. Res. 14, establishes a congressional budget for the U.S. Government that delivers for Americans by cutting waste and government spending, reducing burdensome regulations, providing tax cuts that support families and small businesses, supporting domestic energy production and security, and securing the border. 

Now is the time for House Republicans to come together, unite behind President Trump, and make good on our promises to the American people by passing this resolution and delivering for hard working families who have been struggling for too long.
