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

The U.S. House Budget Committee's Republican majority has taken a significant step by approving a $95 billion budget blueprint exclusively backed by GOP members. This move is part of a broader strategy to push through party-specific policies, potentially leading to a third such bill this fiscal year. While Democrats fiercely opposed and attempted to amend the plan, the GOP's control over the committee allowed the budget to pass with a 20-14 vote. This approval underscores the ongoing partisan divide in Congress and raises questions about the future of bipartisan cooperation and fiscal policy.
