The House has the votes to pass the compromise budget resolution to begin the process of passing President Donald Trump’s signature legislation, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced on April 10.

A vote scheduled for April 9 was scrapped after Johnson could not secure the necessary 217 votes for passage.
