President Trump met with conservative holdouts to push his budget package.
Congressional Republicans can’t betray President Trump. More importantly, we can’t betray the American people who delivered the Republican trifecta.

CBS News reports:
President Trump met Wednesday with key conservative holdouts to the massive budget package containing his second-term agenda — as GOP leaders aim to vote on the bill possibly within hours, despite wariness from both fiscal hawks and blue-state Republicans.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, returned from the meeting between Mr. Trump and members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, calling it “productive.” Johnson said the plan is still to move forward as expected, though details of the final version of the legislation have yet to be unveiled.
“There’s not much changing here, because the underlying product we thought was so well done,” Johnson told reporters.
Republican Rep. Ralph Norman of South Carolina, who was not at the White House meeting, pushed back on the characterization of the changes as “minor,” according to what his House Freedom Caucus colleagues told him.
“What I heard in there was not minor,” he said after huddling with conservative members, adding that the group will “make a call” on how to vote once the details are released.
Timing for a floor vote is also unclear. Johnson said it could happen Wednesday night or Thursday morning. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, a Louisiana Republican, said he expected the vote would take place Wednesday night.
“We’ve got to keep the bill moving,” Scalise said. “Because there’s a lot more steps in the process. The Senate, of course, has to go and do their work.”
But before a floor vote, the legislation will have to make it through the Rules Committee, the last stop for most legislation before the full House votes on a measure. The committee began meeting shortly after 1 a.m. early Wednesday morning, and was still meeting into Wednesday evening.
Mr. Trump also met Tuesday morning with House Republicans as leaders ramped up their efforts to push the bill over its last hurdle in the Rules Committee before it can get to the House floor for a vote.
The president put pressure on members to fall in line Tuesday as the party’s dueling factions threatened to upend the plan with demands that will be difficult to reconcile. When he arrived on Capitol Hill, Mr. Trump suggested that any GOP member who doesn’t back what he and Republicans have deemed the “big, beautiful bill” would be “knocked out so fast,” a warning to a handful of “grandstanders.”
“It’s the biggest bill ever passed, and we’ve got to get it done,” Mr. Trump said.
Every single Republican knows: we must pass President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.
