YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHouse Republican leaders are holding a news conference Tuesday morning as GOP lawmakers grapple with President-elect Trump’s public back-and-forth over whether Congress should pass his agenda in one or two massive spending bills.
Over the weekend, the president-elect called for “one powerful bill” to deal with energy, the southern border, taxes and potentially the debt limit — but later signaled he was open to two separates bills.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Sunday that he expects to pass most of President-elect Trump’s agenda before Memorial Day.
The presser marks the first of the 119th Congress and after Johnson was reelected Speaker earlier this month.
These remarks also come a day after Trump was certified as the 2024 election winner. Republicans gave a standing ovation in the chamber when Vice President Harris, who lost the election, announced Trump’s official victory.
The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EST.
