Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., who sits on the House Budget Committee, told Newsmax on Monday that he’s “confident” that House Republicans can stick together and pass the “big, beautiful bill” requested by President Donald Trump to fund his administration’s priorities.

“The budget reconciliation resolution was passed out of the budget committee with a unanimous vote of all the Republicans on that committee, and many of them are budget hawks, I might add,” Carter said on “Wake Up America.” “That was significant. This is a good bill that we’re putting before Congress this week and I think it’s going to pass. … It’s going to unleash American energy dominance.

“It’s going to make sure we secure the border. It’s going to increase our national security. It does all the things we need it to do but, most importantly, it will extend the tax cuts that were so very successful during the first Trump administration. If we don’t do that, we’ll have the highest tax increase that we’ve ever had in this country.”
