Senate Republicans have indicated that a budget framework passed by the House last week, which includes $73 billion in new defense spending and funding for reforms under the SAVE America Act, is not ready for Senate consideration despite President Trump's demand for passage before the August recess. The House-passed proposal faces significant hurdles in the Senate, where GOP members expressed skepticism about its readiness on Wednesday.
