(Radio Iowa) - Congresswoman Ashley Hinson of Marion says she advised her fellow Republicans to support the Senate-passed budget and tax plan -- and resolve spending differences later.
Some House Republicans had said they wouldn't vote for it because it didn't do enough to reduce the deficit -- but it narrowly cleared the House late Thursday morning. Hinson says the plan ensures there will be investments in Trump's priorities like border enforcement and military spending.
And it also ensures the 2017 tax cuts Trump signed into law do not expire on December 31st. Iowa Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Congressmen Zach Nunn and Randy Feenstra also voted yes. Feenstra says Republicans have an obligation to advance Trump's agenda and ensure the tax cuts didn't expire.
