Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) announced plans Tuesday for the chamber to take up the measure advanced by the Senate Budget Committee last week.
That puts the resolution on track to hit the floor this week as the chamber pressures the House to act.
“It’s time to act on the decisive mandate the American people gave to President Trump in November. Securing the border, rebuilding our defense, and unleashing American energy. That starts this week with passing Chairman @LindseyGrahamSC ’s budget,” Thune wrote on the social platform X, referring to the Budget panel chair. “Let’s get it done.”
The budget resolution package includes roughly $325 billion to implement Trump’s plans to boost border security and launch mass deportations, increase defense spending and advance his energy agenda.
After 50 hours of debate, the chamber would hold a vote-a-rama, an hours-long period of votes on myriad amendments.
