Despite traditionally receiving bipartisan\u2063 support,\u200b the legislation advanced with no Democratic \u200bsupport due to a slew of controversial amendments\u200d proposed by GOP members. Only two Republicans\u200c voted against the measure: Reps.

However, that process was nearly uprooted earlier this week after members of the House Freedom Caucus threatened to withhold their support for the must-pass legislation unless GOP leadership \u200bmade some crucial changes.<\/p>\n<p>One of the top demands included a push to slash spending to fiscal 2022 levels, which would amount to roughly $115 billion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want the \u201822 levels, \u200band we want no\u2063 rescissions,\u201d Rep. \u200cRalph Norman (R-SC), told reporters\u2062 on Tuesday. \u201cNo smoke and mirrors \u2062for the\u2064 American people. We want a budget\u200c that trims the fat, goes to programs that will defend\u200c and protect this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In response to those demands, GOP leaders vowed\u2062 a \u201crobust amendment \u2064process\u201d in order to get the \u2063legislation through the House before lawmakers adjourn \u200cfor recess at the end of the week. The House Rules Committee approved 40 amendments to be considered as part of that deal, which lawmakers will debate later in the afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Several \u2063of those amendments,\u2063 however, \u2064are responsible for the lack\u200c of Democratic support on the\u2062 bill as they specifically seek to target what Republicans consider to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-media-has-entered-the-republicans-pounce-stage-of-critical-race-theory\/\" title=\"The Media Has Entered the \u2018Republicans Pounce\u2019 Stage Of Critical Race Theory\">culture war issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The House is scheduled to reconvene and vote on the full legislation later in the evening.

Budget disagreements \u200btypically drag out as both parties fight to include their own\u2063 priorities, with a final deal often not made \u200cuntil the \u200beleventh\u2063 hour after a marathon voting \u2064session.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, that process has been\u2063 made even \u2062more complicated this year. Some Freedom Caucus members are already signaling opposition\u200d to the spending \u200dlevels agreed to in\u200d the debt limit deal and\u2063 threatening to \u2063vote against budget legislation unless \u2062spending levels are cut.
