Trump’s Budget Advances & Rep. Ro Khanna 2/26/25

The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives narrowly passed a multi-trillion-dollar budget plan late Tuesday, advancing President Donald Trump’s tax-cut and border security agenda. CNBC’s Emily Wilkins joins to outline the details of the bill. Then Rep. Ro Khanna discusses the budget’s passage, its impact on Democrats, who benefits from the Trump tax cuts, and his thoughts on proposed spending cuts. And Cava co-founder and CEO Brett Schulman weighs in on the company’s quarterly earnings, 2025 outlook, and the potential impact of tariffs. Plus, Trump floats a $5 million “gold card” visa as a new path to citizenship, the U.S. and Ukraine outline a deal to fund Ukraine’s future security and reconstruction through an investment fund backed by the country’s rare earth minerals, and McDonald’s pushes back against a proposed surcharge on egg-based meals.
