President Donald Trump is slated to meet with GOP House leaders on Tuesday before the chamber votes on the Senate version of his budget resolution.
According to NOTUS, the National Republican Congressional Committee will conduct a fundraiser on Tuesday evening, with Trump serving as the guest of honor.
Multiple House Republicans reject the Senate’s budget proposal, and House leaders are hoping Trump can persuade them to vote for it.
House Speaker Mike Johnson is allegedly planning to vote on the Senate blueprint resolution as early as Wednesday.
The measure allocates $175 billion for border security and expands Trump’s 2017 tax cuts.
House Republicans, including Chip Roy of Texas and Andy Ogles of Tennessee, oppose the Senate measure, claiming that it does not decrease spending enough.
This comes as President Trump’s approval rating has risen to near-record levels, despite several days of outrage from Democrats, establishment Republicans, and mainstream media outlets over the president’s ambitious trade changes.
