🚨 Major pushback from key House Republicans to the slimmed down recon 3.0 plan Speaker + WH is now pushing — with Iran war $, farm aid + SAVE elements — that isn’t fully paid for “I’m positive there will be pay-fors,” Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) said. “Or there is no path.” Rep. Erin Houchin (R-Ind.), a Budget Committee member, told @politico last night she had “concerns” about the plans and Rs has “a long way to go” before she would vote to advance the plans in a markup. Today Houchin raised pushback directly to GOP leaders in a closed-door conference meeting. RSC Chair August Pfluger of Texas, one of recon 3.0 biggest boosters, told us: “We really don’t have any details from leadership. We are continuing to urge them to be aggressive and be strong.” Pfluger also said he spoke up during the closed-door House GOP meeting to urge Republicans to do more to tackle fraud in social programs to find more cost savings. Inside the closed door meeting, Johnson told Republicans he wants Budget Committee to advance the plans by end of day Thursday. BUT he also urged them to “be patient” as Rs balk. w/ @Reporter_Mia politico.com/live-updates/2… via @politico
