NEW: House Speaker Mike Johnson vows to try again to approve a Republican budget framework.

NEW: Johnson : "I believe we have the votes. We’ll take the next big step.” NEW: Senate GOP leader panned the idea of sending back an amended version, which would require another potential all-night voting session like the one senators endured last weekend .

The House and Senate are still turning their budget resolutions into legislative votes.

The package also allows for budget increases with some $175 billion to pay for Trump ’s mass deportation operation and as much for the Defense Department .

It all would be partly paid for with steep cuts to domestic programs, including health care, as part of the $2 trillion in reductions outlined in the House GOP version of the package.

Two Republican senators voted against their package during an overnight weekend session.
