House Budget Committee approves reconciliation package on second try

Why it matters: The 17-16 vote to approve the package, with four "present" votes among conservative Republicans, comes after House Republicans suggested they'll make changes in a manager's amendment to satisfy the conservatives — without specifying what they'll be.

• "You will get [the details] in the manager's amendment like most of the members here," Budget Committee chair Jodey Arrington told ranking member Brendan Boyle after Boyle asked what changes are being made.
• "I couldn't tell you what's in flux, what's fixed, what's changed or not changed."
