As deadlines loom and legislative priorities intensify, Senate Republicans are grappling with a complex fiscal dilemma that threatens to derail their legislative agenda.

This discrepancy has sparked internal debates and external scrutiny within the GOP, as leaders weigh the implications of aligning with the House’s budget parameters or risking further discord.
