• Verification Source #2: "Conservative fiscal hawks lined up in opposition to the Senate-passed fiscal blueprint, arguing it would add too much to the nation’s debt. Its collapse would threaten President Trump’s agenda." This supports the claim that the budget is tied to Trump's agenda and that there is opposition.

This supports the idea that Republicans are working to keep Trump's agenda on track.
• Verification Source #4: "The president-elect has admonished Republicans to stay united around his ambitious domestic policy plans. But his track record with Congress is one of abrupt turnabouts and last-minute blowups." This supports the idea that Trump has an agenda he wants Republicans to unite behind.
