WASHINGTON — Speaker Johnson, Majority Leader Scalise, Majority Whip Emmer, and Conference Chairwoman McClain issued the following statement after the House passed its FY25 budget resolution:

“Today, House Republicans moved Congress closer to delivering on President Trump’s full America First agenda — not just parts of it.

“This momentum will grow as we work with our committee chairs and Senate Republicans to determine the best policies within their respective jurisdictions to meet budgetary targets. We have full confidence in their ability to chart the best path forward.

“While there is still much more to do, we are determined to send a bill to President Trump’s desk that secures our border, keeps taxes low for families and job creators, restores American energy dominance, strengthens America’s standing on the world stage, and makes government work more effectively for all Americans.”

Overview: 

1. Economic Growth: Grows the economy by $2.6 trillion over 10 years from 2.6 percent average growth, compared to CBO’s estimate of 1.8 percent growth
2. Discretionary Spending: Saves $829 billion
3. Mandatory Savings: Provides a floor of at least $1.5 trillion with a goal of $2 trillion in mandatory savings over 10 years
4. Debt Ceiling: Increases by $4 trillion covering two years
5. Key Priorities: Extends President Trump’s signature tax cuts and provides funding for border security and national defense
