US EditionMcCarthy tears into Republicans over Trump budget bill delay: ‘A real misstep’
- Republican Representative Chip Roy and other hardline conservatives blocked the House Budget Committee's approval of President Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' on May 16, 2025, in Washington D.C.
- The block occurred because Roy and his allies demanded deeper spending cuts, including faster Medicaid work requirements, creating divisions within the GOP during negotiations.
- The bill aimed to extend Trump-era tax cuts, impose new welfare restrictions, and fund border security and defense, but faced opposition from Democrats and some Republicans over social program cuts.
- The bill failed with 16 votes in favor and 21 against in committee, while independent analysts estimated it would add over $4.8 trillion to the deficit over the next decade.
- The defeat delays legislative progress and complicates passing the bill before Memorial Day, signaling ongoing partisan tensions and challenges ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
