‘One bill, two bills, I don’t care’: Trump promises to get large reconciliation bill passed either way

President Donald Trump made a bold promise to House Republicans during a conference at his golf course and resort, Trump National Doral, near Miami. He assured them that the U.S. border would be secured through a reconciliation package. Trump emphasized the importance of restoring the sovereignty of the United States by fully funding a significant increase in border security personnel and providing retention bonuses for ICE and border patrol.

Furthermore, Trump discussed his plans for the “largest package of tax cuts and reforms in American history.” With many of the reforms from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act set to expire in 2025, Trump proposed extending these cuts as part of his new economic plan.

Despite some division among Republicans in the House and Senate on whether to pursue one comprehensive bill or two separate bills, Trump expressed flexibility on the matter, emphasizing that the end result is what truly matters. The use of the budget reconciliation process, which allows for passage with a simple majority, is being considered to expedite the enactment of new policies.

In a meeting with House and Senate GOP leaders, National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Tim Scott remained neutral on the debate between one bill or two bills, focusing instead on the importance of delivering results for the American people. Scott stressed the need for border security, tax reform, and deportation measures to be included in the legislative package.

Ultimately, Trump’s goal is to collaborate with Congress to achieve his policy objectives, regardless of the specific legislative process. The focus remains on delivering tangible outcomes that benefit the nation. As discussions continue on the best approach to advancing these priorities, Trump remains committed to working with lawmakers to secure the border and enact critical reforms.
