CBSN
Washington — Senate Majority Leader John Thune announced Tuesday that the Senate will move forward with a vote on a budget proposal to begin enacting President Trump's agenda this week, moving ahead of Republicans in the House who are pursuing a competing plan.
"It's time to act on the decisive mandate the American people gave to President Trump in November," Thune said in a post on X Tuesday afternoon, adding that "[s]ecuring the border, rebuilding our defense, and unleashing American energy" will begin "this week."
The Senate's budget resolution is the first of two the chamber intends to pursue under the reconciliation process. The first is focused on border security, defense and energy, while the second will address the extension of the 2017 tax cuts.
