The House Budget Committee sent out a notice for a markup on a budget resolution at 10 a.m. Thursday. The Washington Examiner confirmed that Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX), the committee chairman, alerted members to the development at the GOP’s weekly conference meeting Tuesday.

This sets up House and Senate Republicans on a collision course, as Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is preparing for a markup Wednesday and Thursday on the Senate’s two-bill reconciliation plan. Graham announced the budget resolution last week after it became clear that the House GOP was stalled due to infighting over top-line numbers.

Still, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) dismissed concerns about the Senate jamming the House with its two-bill approach, telling reporters Tuesday that the “American public cares less.”

“America is more concerned about the wasteful spending right now, as I am,” Burchett said. “I don’t — if they get 50 bills or one bill, and same with President Trump, he just wants results.”

The Senate holds an advantage, as the chamber is in session next week. The House goes on recess beginning Friday, and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said he will not call members back into Washington to take up the budget resolution if it passed out of committee on Thursday.

“I’m not anticipating that,” Johnson told reporters. “I think that we’ll be able to do a lot of work via the committees and some of the underbrush kind of work through the week, and we don’t have to be here in town to vote on it.”

Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC), a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, denied that the House’s process is being rushed because the Senate is voting on its own plan, telling reporters Tuesday morning that it was “time to act. It needs to come from us.”

Johnson has repeatedly said the House should take the lead on budget reconciliation, which is the vehicle to pass GOP agenda items such as border security, energy initiatives, and tax cuts. There has been disagreement among House and Senate Republicans, however, on whether the priorities should be split into two bills or one, which Johnson prefers.

Progress has been slow-moving for weeks after House Republicans left their issues retreat in Florida at the end of January without the promised “blueprint” for the one bill, and in the meantime, the Senate started advancing its competing approach.

In the House, leadership has spent the days and weeks since the retreat arguing with debt hawks over a top-line number to put on the budget resolution, and so far, no one has been agreed upon heading into the markup Thursday. Hard-liners have called for around $2 trillion to $2.5 trillion in spending cuts, while leaders have said they see a spending cut top line of $1 trillion as doable.

Coming out of House Republicans’ weekly conference meeting, Burchett conceded that leadership’s plan was “not real detail-specific.” However, the speaker said later Tuesday that the public may see details about the budget that night.

“We’re not going to stop working on this until it’s done,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) added during Tuesday’s press conference. “Failure is not an option.”

Johnson is expected to meet with members of the House Budget Committee Tuesday to discuss the plan, a Republican lawmaker confirmed to the Washington Examiner.

On Monday, the Freedom Caucus sidestepped Johnson and released its own budget resolution, part of a two-bill approach that the hard-line conservatives have favored for some time now. Caucus Chairman Andy Harris (R-MD) introduced the resolution Monday night on the House floor.

“As we stand here today, negotiations have stalled in the House,” Harris said. “We all know this. We are at a crossroads in this reconciliation process.”

Harris’s resolution would provide $200 billion in new funding for military, defense, and border security and $486.3 billion in spending cuts, resulting in a $286 billion deficit reduction over 10 years. It falls in line with Senate proposals, which could be a thorn in Johnson’s side if the upper chamber is able to move faster on its resolution.

Hard-liners are likely to push the speaker to put their resolution up for a vote — a bill that could divide the conference, as it calls for raising the debt ceiling by $4 trillion. House Republicans had to drop a spending deal at the end of last year that suspended the debt ceiling for two years after deficit hawks pushed back and shot it down.
