In its markup hearing on Thursday, the House Budget Committee approved a $95 billion budget reconciliation framework. 

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., may face trouble when the package goes to the floor next week, as some conservatives object to the lack of spending cuts to offset the proposed spending.
