The Republican-controlled House passed an austere spending bill, cutting federal spending by $4.8 trillion. Though the measure has been given little chance of passing in the Senate, some observers say it might put pressure on President Joe Biden ahead of possible budget talks.
U.S. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-12th) joined us to discuss the bill, which narrowly passed, led by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Coleman said her constituents, even on the Republican side, will push back on the bill, because it would negatively impact important social services and programs.
