Hugh Hewitt: Time for Choosing

The budget committee of the House of Representatives has now passed a budget resolution. It now heads to the House’s full floor.

Some GOP “moderates” don’t like it; some “fiscal hawks” don’t like it. It is, however, the “Sorcerer’s Stone” for the House and Senate Republican caucuses. Failure to pass it would be catastrophic for the country and the party. Anyone voting against it can expect a primary challenge in 2026.

It’s a time for choosing. The stakes are enormous.

The critical parts of that campaign agenda are: A huge increase in resources to secure the border, detain illegal immigrants and deport dangerous migrants.

Also on the Trump agenda: An enormous increase in defense spending—especially for the Navy and its ship procurement and maintenance outlays.

President Donald Trump has made his priorities clear. Now, it’s up to the GOP Congressional majorities to carry things through. It begins with the Budget Resolution.
