Newly re-elected House Speaker Mike Johnson is determined to push President-elect Donald Trump's agenda forward as he reveals how the president-elect wants Congress to handle the reconciliation debacle. 'I think at the end of the day, President Trump is going to prefer, as he likes to say, one big, beautiful bill,' Johnson admitted to 'Sunday Morning Futures' host Maria Bartiromo.
It’ll give us a little bit more time to negotiate that and get it right,' he continued. Johnson expressed that one reconciliation bill will 'have a lot of pieces' and address a lot of the concerns Americans voiced during the election, such as securing the border and economy. In order to 'revive the U.S. economy,' Speaker Johnson stressed the importance of 'preventing the largest tax increase in U.S.
Johnson explained that Republicans want to 'incentivize' American companies to manufacture in the U.S., dismantle the 'regulatory burden' and red tape that’s 'smothering' the free market, root out the 'deep state' and restore American energy dominance.'So a lot of moving pieces, a lot of things to negotiate, a lot of opinions on all that. So, we’ll be working long, long hours with whiteboards, making sure every Republican is on board,' he said.
