Speaker Johnson’s message comes one day after he told Fox News that he expects to pass President Trump’s agenda in one “big, beautiful bill” by Memorial Day.

From The Hill:

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Sunday he expects to pass President-elect Trump’s agenda through one big reconciliation package before Memorial Day.

In an interview on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Johnson reiterated that Republicans will try to pack in as many policy items as possible into a large reconciliation bill, which would avoid the 60-vote threshold necessary to pass most legislation in the Senate.

Reconciliation legislation requires a simple majority, or 50 votes, in the upper chamber.

“We’re 15 days out from the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump for his second term. And we want to make sure that we’re jump-starting the agenda now over the next two weeks, so that he’s prepared and ready on day one,” Johnson said. “We have a lot to do, as you know. And we have been putting all the plays together and figuring out the sequence of how we’re going to run those plays. And we’re really excited about it.”

“At the end of the day, President Trump is going to prefer, as he likes to say, one big, beautiful bill. And there’s a lot of merit to that, because we can put it all together, one big up-or-down vote, which can save the country, quite literally, because there are so many elements to it. And it’ll give us a little bit more time to negotiate that and get it right,” he said.

Hopefully, this isn’t just talk and Mike pulls through for President Trump and our nation as a whole.

I’d love to see it!

How about you?

Here’s what folks are saying to Johnson on X:

Let’s hope Johnson has the backbone to push through without caving. We’ve waited too long for this. April can’t come soon enough!

I remain skeptical of this RINO and with Thune in the Senate.

I hope they prove me wrong.
