US House panel approves $95B GOP-only budget blueprint

The U.S. House Budget Committee's Republican majority has approved a $95 billion budget blueprint that aligns strictly with GOP priorities, advancing a contentious process that could see the party pushing through a third party-line bill. The 20-14 vote highlighted the deep partisan divide, as Democrats proposed amendments to counter Republican measures, which were ultimately rejected. This move underscores the increasing polarization in Congress and raises questions about the future of bipartisan cooperation in budget negotiations.
