The rough plan would cut less spending than hard-liners want while also scaling back potential tax cuts.

After a series of setbacks and delays, House Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday night shopped around a new budget blueprint for a party-line reconciliation bill, snatching the pen from Rep.
Jodey Arrington amid mounting frustration with the House Budget Committee chair.
Johnson’s latest plan includes a new floor for spending cuts — between $1.25 trillion and $1.5 trillion — to offset part of the massive domestic policy package Republicans are now pursuing,
according to four people granted anonymity to provide details on the private talks.
That range of reductions is greater than what the speaker initially laid out to his conference last month but still lower than the $2.5 trillion some conservatives have been pushing for.
The level of cuts is just one of several moving pieces Johnson and other House GOP leaders are still struggling with as they try to build unity for the sweeping border, energy and tax
package.
