Donald Trump wants Republicans to pass one massive legislative package with all of his top priorities, House Speaker Mike Johnson told his conference Saturday.
Trump’s call for one bill passed through a process called budget reconciliation deviates from the plan Senate Majority Leader John Thune laid out late last year, teeing up what will very likely be a year of high-pressure negotiations.
Thune presented a two-bill strategy, where the first would deliver Trump a win on his campaign promises around border security, energy regulations and defense, and the second would deal with taxes and raising revenue.
