GOP frustrations with conservatives rise after budget fight
(The Hill) Frustrations are bubbling up among House Republicans after the conference — by the skin of its teeth — overcame internal disputes to adopt a framework for President Trump’s legislative agenda, a troubling sign for the group as it heads into the next, more difficult, step in achieving the president’s domestic policy priorities.
The rocky week leading up to the budget resolution’s adoption — with fiscal hawks withholding support as they pushed for commitments on spending cuts, forcing leaders to postpone a scheduled vote on the budget blueprint until the hard-liners acquiesced — left a bad taste in the mouth of Republicans in the other parts of the conference who worry that the high target for cuts could lead to slashes to Medicaid.
One moderate House Republican, granted anonymity to speak candidly, said members are “annoyed with the attention this small group gets.”
