Mike Johnson praises Trump admin for collaboration on ‘big, beautiful bill’
House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, recently praised the close collaboration between Congress and President Donald Trump in successfully passing a major piece of legislation. Describing the bill as “one big, beautiful bill,” Johnson emphasized the importance of unified government in achieving such a significant milestone.
After marathon sessions in both the House and Senate, Congress officially approved Trump’s multitrillion-dollar agenda package. The bill now awaits the President’s signature, just in time for the Republicans’ self-imposed Fourth of July deadline. This marks the first major legislation passed under the Trump administration with Republicans in control of both the executive branch and Congress.
In a post-vote press conference, Johnson highlighted the benefits of unified government, stating that the interaction between the executive and legislative branches ultimately serves the people best. He commended the Trump administration for their willingness to engage with members of Congress, including Cabinet secretaries, Vice President JD Vance, and the President himself, who took the time to answer questions and address concerns.
“We had a tough four years before this last election cycle,” Johnson said. “We knew that if we got unified government, we’d have to quite literally fix every area of public policy. Everything was an absolute disaster under the Biden-Harris radical woke Progressive Democrat regime.”
Despite some pushback, the bill narrowly passed in the House with all but two Republicans voting in favor. Johnson played a pivotal role in convincing GOP holdouts to support the legislation, emphasizing his approach as a “servant leader” who prioritizes addressing members’ concerns and allowing ample time for thorough discussions.
The bill, which advances Trump’s policies on taxes, border security, defense, energy, and national debt, represents a significant victory for Johnson and the President. Both leaders worked tirelessly to secure the necessary votes and ensure the bill’s passage.
In conclusion, the successful collaboration between Congress and the Trump administration underscores the benefits of unified government in driving significant legislative achievements. As the bill heads to the President’s desk for final approval, it reflects a milestone in advancing key policy priorities and fulfilling campaign promises.
