The GOP budget plan is a cornerstone of President Donald Trump ’s domestic agenda.

Republicans hope to leverage their position of power in Washington to enact as much as $7 trillion in tax breaks, boost border security for mass deportations and cut government funding.

Democrats say Republicans pose grave threats to the nation's safety net programs as they hunt for cost savings.

Sen. Bill Cassidy , R- La. , said tariffs were a factor in his decision to vote for the budget resolution.

Cassidy said he did not want to cast a vote that could “increase uncertainty in the economy” “This vote isn’t taking place in a vacuum,” he said.
