House lawmakers narrowly pass a 2018 budget resolution officially clearing the way for tax reform.

The measure is now headed to President Trump’s desk for approval.

The legislation, which was passed by the Senate last week, was approved by the House on Thursday by a vote of 216 to 212.

The $4 trillion dollar budget blueprint is a key step forward in the path toward President Trump’s tax overhaul.

Republicans can now unlock reconciliation allowing the Senate to pass tax legislation with just 51 votes instead of 60.
