Trump presses GOP to swiftly send ‘one powerful Bill’ for his signature ASAP
President-elect Donald Trump is urging congressional Republicans to swiftly send him “one powerful Bill” once he takes office later this month. With Republicans holding the majority in both chambers of Congress and Trump set to be sworn in on Jan. 20, the stage is set for significant legislative action.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump emphasized the need to “Secure our Border, Unleash American Energy, and Renew the Trump Tax Cuts,” highlighting his priorities for the upcoming legislative agenda. He called for unity among Republicans to deliver historic victories for the American people and emphasized the importance of passing legislation that will bring the country back to its former glory.
House Speaker Mike Johnson revealed that Trump prefers a “big, beautiful bill” that can address multiple issues in one comprehensive package. Johnson believes that tackling various issues, including the debt ceiling, in one bill will be more effective in saving the country. The aim is to have the House vote on the measure in early April, with hopes of it reaching Trump’s desk by the end of April or by Memorial Day at the latest.
Following Trump’s endorsement, Johnson was re-elected as House Speaker, solidifying his position to lead the legislative efforts in the coming months. Despite initial resistance from some Republicans, Johnson ultimately secured the support needed to continue in his role.
Rep. Chip Roy, a vocal advocate for cutting spending and shrinking government, warned that the Senate could be a significant barrier to these efforts and called for public pressure to push for fiscal responsibility. He highlighted the importance of reducing government spending and referenced the Department of Government Efficiency, an initiative led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, as a way to advocate for these changes.
As the legislative process unfolds, it is clear that Trump and congressional Republicans are gearing up for a busy and impactful first few months of the new administration. With a focus on bold, comprehensive legislation, they aim to deliver on their promises to the American people and set the country on a path towards greater prosperity.
