Just minutes after President Donald Trump surprised Washington by writing on Truth Social Wednesday that he prefers “one big beautiful” spending package, Sen. Lindsey Graham was on the phone, walking into a leadership meeting.
“Did you see Trump’s tweet?” Graham said on the call, as witnessed by NOTUS.
Trump’s declaration Wednesday that he prefers the House’s budget and forthcoming reconciliation bill — “unlike the Lindsey Graham version of the very important Legislation currently being discussed, the House Resolution implements my FULL America First Agenda,” Trump wrote — is the culmination of a standoff between the two chambers.
