Published | Video Starts at 04:09

It goes back to the 1974 Budget Act. We've talked about this many times. But this allows a majority vote in both the House and the Senate. So In the Senate, you only need 51 votes to get it passed. That means you don't have to have any Democratic votes. The one big beautiful bill that passed last year did not have any Democratic votes in the House. (04:09–04:13)
