WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, Congressman Pat Harrigan (NC-10) voted in favor of the Senate amendment to H. Con. Res. 14, the Fiscal Year 2025 budget resolution. This amendment preserves the House’s reconciliation instructions and allows Congress to move forward with drafting legislation that will deliver meaningful spending cuts, extend President Trump’s tax cuts, unleash American energy production, and restore law and order at the border.
“This is not the final bill; it is the bridge to President Trump’s ‘one, big beautiful’ reconciliation package,” said Congressman Harrigan. “The amendment keeps our momentum and moves us into the fight. Now we begin writing the bill that delivers over $2 trillion in savings, makes the Trump tax cuts permanent, rebuilds American energy dominance, secures the border, and crushes inflation. The American people handed us the tools to fix the economy, and they expect us to use them.”
The budget resolution is not law but a framework that sets the stage for what comes next. The Senate amendment makes no changes to the reconciliation instructions already passed by the House, which call for historic reductions in federal spending while protecting critical programs like Social Security and Medicare. The next phase of the process will involve committee work to craft legislation that reflects the full scope of the America First economic agenda.
Congressman Harrigan is urging continued unity among House and Senate Republicans to get this done. The reconciliation process presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape the federal budget, restore economic strength, and deliver the conservative results the American people demanded at the ballot box.
