However, a handful of Republicans have stated they will not support the resolution, placing the future of the measure in doubt. <\/p>\n<p>Conservatives such as Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Victoria Spartz (R-IN), Tim Burchett (R-TN), and Warren Davidson (R-OH) have told reporters over the last two days that they will vote &ldquo;no&rdquo; on the budget resolution, which unlocks the House&rsquo;s preferred one-bill process for reconciliation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Massie and Spartz&rsquo;s opposition to the resolution stems from how it handles deficit, while Davidson has insisted he needs reassurances and a plan for appropriations &mdash; a different process &mdash; before he&rsquo;d vote for the resolution.<\/p>\n<p>Eyes are also on other holdouts, including a handful of centrists who have raised concerns that the budget resolution will lead to drastic cuts to Medicaid and other beneficiary programs on which their constituents rely. However, several coming out of a late-night Monday meeting and Tuesday&rsquo;s weekly GOP conference meeting singnaling they had softened their stance against the framework.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On other previous controversial measures, some Republicans have voted for the rule but <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">sank final passage &#038;mdash<\/a>; and with Johnson only able to lose a couple of votes based on Democratic attendance, it could put the budget resolution in jeopardy.<\/p>\n<p>And Johnson will not be able to rely on Democrats for any assistance. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and a large group of House Democrats stood outside the Capitol on Tuesday afternoon to protest the budget plan, repeating their messaging that the resolution would cut Medicaid spending for everyday Americans. Republicans have pointed out the budget blueprint doesn&rsquo;t include any Medicaid spending cuts but just directs committees to find savings.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Let me be clear: House Democrats will not provide a single vote to this reckless Republican budget,&rdquo; Jeffries said. &ldquo;Not one, not one, not one. They will not get a single Democratic vote.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_2020073\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"2020073\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump&#8217;s budget bill passes initial House vote, but future uncertain<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2648,"featured_media":2406559,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/AP25022587701648.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[32450,4762,5894,3634,32076],"class_list":["post-2406558","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-house-vote","tag-legislation","tag-politics","tag-trump","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/AP25022587701648.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2406558","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2648"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2406558"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2406558\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2406562,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2406558\/revisions\/2406562"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2406559"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2406558"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2406558"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2406558"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
