Trump hails passage of budget resolution by House GOP, calls for Senate to adopt before "August recess"
Washington, DC [US], July 25 (ANI): US President Donald Trump on Friday (local time) praised House Republican leadership following the passage of the Budget Resolution, which unlocks "Reconciliation 3.0," the framework for the upcoming SAVE and Protect America Act, ramping up the pressure on the Senate to adopt it before the August Break.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump thanked lawmakers for opposing Democratic opposition and commended Speaker Mike Johnson, House leadership, and key committee chairs for securing the vote.
"Thank you to all the Senators who opposed yet another Dumocrat-led attempt to undermine our National Security," Trump wrote.
"Congratulations to our GREAT Speaker, Mike Johnson, and the House Republicans for their MAJOR success in taking the first step towards passing the Budget Bill. Thank you to our terrific Chairman, Jodey Arrington, Chip Roy, Michelle Fishbach, Virginia Foxx, Jason Smith, Mike Rogers, GT Thompson, Bryan Steil, our incredible Whip, Tom Emmer, Majority Leader, Steve Scalise, and all those who came together to take this important step," he added.
The president urged the Senate to adopt the budget resolution via the reconciliation process before the August state work period, expressing the administration's willingness to work with the Senate.
"I am asking that the Senate adopt a Budget Resolution, which can pass with a simple Majority, before leaving for the August recess. We are ready to work side-by-side with the Senate to get this done for the American People!" he stated.
He called the measure one of the most consequential bills in American history, noting that it focuses on bolstering the US military, providing critical economic support for farmers, and incorporating major election integrity provisions from the SAVE America Act.
"This will be one of the most consequential Bills in America's History. Strengthening our powerful Military, providing aid for our Farmers and, most importantly, as much of THE SAVE AMERICA ACT as possible. Our Voters will be extremely happy -- And even impressed!" he added.
