News you (schedulers) can use: If they can’t get it done this week Speaker Johnson will bring the House back next week after letting everyone go home for Passover

New plan: punt to TOMORROW No vote tonight on budget

Everyone is waiting on the Speaker who is behind closed doors with about 18 holdouts/ gop leadership Staunch no Eli Crane just left, “no update,” he said House floor in paralysis for over an hour

RT @mkraju: House GOP leaders meeting with group of holdouts just off floor to pressure them to fall in line behind Senate budget blueprint…

Are you voting for the budget blueprint?

Don’t let the media use a stock ticker like the “coronavirus cases” ticker. Don’t bet against the USA. Now Congress must be bold and constrain spending. Debt and deficits are a curse from the swamp that must be vanquished. If we do that, true prosperity lies ahead.

RT @matt____rice: A sign of how things are going. If you look closely, you can see Freedom Caucus chairman Andy Harris after leaving a me…

Turn on cspan!!! Big drama in 5 mins on next vote Andy Harris sounds like he MAY have flipped after meeting with Thune but he says “we travel in a group” and wouldn’t confirm anything

Speaker Johnson vibe check: “I think we’re gonna get the votes tonight.” Said he spoke to Thune before his meeting with House members

Rep Norman, who is a no, thinks 10-15 holdouts still, says “I’ll stay here as long as it takes” per @alisonkmain

Chip leaving Thunes office won’t say what happened but he doesn’t seem AS BIG MAD, more irked

House votes have started This could take a while if they hold open the votes while leadership works to break necks on the floor Womack is in the chair - theyre not messing around !!!!!!

Thune and Barrasso are currently meeting with: Harris Biggs Clyde Roy Perry Burchett

GOP Rep Rich McCormick told @mkraju there are still about 15 holdouts on the Senate-approved budget blueprint to advance President Donald Trump's agenda, so "unless something changes" it will be hard to pass

GOP leadership is confident they’ve got the votes but none of these people have so far flipped publicly Votes start around 6p and the one that matters should hit the floor around 630p https://t.co/dTNNGSTLjj

Holdouts Andy Harris, Biggs, Clyde just went into Thunes senate office “We just want to make sure the House and the Senate are in the same ballpark” Harris told @morgan_rimmer @FoxReports House vote around 6p

Speaker Johnson at this moment still doesn’t have the votes - and it isn’t close Self, Norman, Burlison, Massie, Burchett claim they are HARD NOs and won’t move (until they do….)

Sarah Ferris @sarahnferris

How bad is the House GOP whip count on the budget right now? Rep. Andy Ogles said he personally warned Johnson not to put it on the floor today "because it will fail" Vote is in > one hour Vibe check with @FoxReports https://t.co/Wk8HM7sE3J

RT @sarahnferris: Rep Mike Turner tells us he voted AGAINST the GOP rule on the budget because it would have prevented votes overturning Tr…
