On Agreeing to the Resolution, as Amended
On Agreeing to the Resolution, as Amended
The House voted 217-215 to pass H.Con.Res. 14, a concurrent resolution that establishes the congressional budget for fiscal year 2025 and sets budgetary levels through 2034. Concurrent resolutions set spending and revenue targets that guide subsequent appropriations and tax legislation but do not require presidential signature. The vote was nearly entirely along party lines, with all 217 Republicans voting yes and 214 of 215 Democrats voting no. One Republican voted against the resolution. This partisan breakdown reflects deep disagreements between the parties over spending priorities, tax policy, and the overall fiscal direction of the government. As a concurrent resolution, H.Con.Res. 14 now advances to the Senate for consideration. The Senate must pass its own version or agree to the House version before the budget resolution takes effect as the framework for the fiscal year's spending and revenue legislation.
Received in the Senate. Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 38.

The three Republicans who broke with their party to support the amendment represent a small but notable deviation from unified Republican opposition.

The three Republicans who broke with their party represent a small but notable bipartisan element in an otherwise party-line disagreement. With the amendment rejected, the Senate will proceed to consider the underlying bill without this proposed change. The bill's next steps depend on what other amendments are pending and the chamber's broader legislative schedule.
