Reps. David Valadao and Nicole Malliotakis say they are withholding support from the House GOP budget resolution.

The House Budget Committee advanced the measure in a party-line, 21 -16 vote, sending it to the full chamber.

Republicans are looking to advance President Trump ’s legislative agenda using the budget reconciliation process.

The resolution outlines a $1.5 trillion floor for spending cuts across committees.

The Ways and Means Committee will have to abide by a $4.5 trillion cap on deficit increases to enact Trump ’s tax agenda.

Rep. Malliotakis said she needs more clarity on how to make up that entire number.

Other lawmakers are firing off warning shots about being pushed into complicated corners.
