Politico reports:
GOP leaders successfully flipped Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.), who had been a holdout on their budget plan. Republicans pulled their first vote after three Republicans, including Spartz, indicated they would vote against the budget resolution. They called for a second vote after flipping Spartz.
Earlier in the day Trump had placed a call to one of the GOP holdouts, Rep. Tim Burchett. Burchett said afterward it was a “nice conversation” but at the time he remained undecided.
At stake is the budget measure Johnson wants to use to enact President Donald Trump’s sweeping domestic policy agenda. Johnson could not lose more than two GOP votes given current House attendance.

I’m headed to the House floor to vote NO on the majority’s budget resolution which would add $4 trillion to our debt while slashing Medicaid, food assistance, and student loan relief. We need a budget that invests in families & strengthens our future, this partisan bill does not… pic.twitter.com/AnObMfYYWq

🚨NEW: GOP @RepThomasMassie on Trump/House GOP Budget:
“I’m a ‘no.’ If the Republican plan passes…we’re going to add $328 billion to the deficit this year. We’re going to add $295 billion to the deficit the year after that…why would I vote for that?!”pic.twitter.com/le6xs8zR9t
