In the early hours of Friday, February 21, 2025, the U.S. Senate passed a Republican-backed budget resolution after an extensive "vote-a-rama" session. The resolution emphasizes increased funding for defense, border security, and energy initiatives, diverging from President Donald Trump's preference for a more comprehensive House plan that includes significant tax cuts.
The Senate's budget framework allocates approximately $340 billion over four years, with $150 billion designated for defense and $175 billion for border security enhancements. Notably, this plan postpones discussions on extending the 2017. . .
