Trump Pushes Republicans to Pass His Agenda

Last night, Trump called for Congress to get “to work on one powerful Bill.”

“We must Secure our Border, Unleash American Energy, and Renew the Trump Tax Cuts, which were the largest in History, but we will make it even better – NO TAX ON TIPS. Republicans must unite, and quickly deliver these Historic Victories for the American People. Get smart, tough, and send the Bill to my desk to sign as soon as possible.”

Playbook: “That’s a tall order. Not only is it a breathtakingly expansive amount of policy to enact, but Trump’s definition of “as soon as possible” is likely different from that of Republicans on the Hill. At the moment, House Speaker Mike Johnson can only afford to lose the vote of a single Republican (assuming united Democratic opposition), and members of the Freedom Caucus, for example, are unlikely to accept a bill that doesn’t try to do something about government spending or the debt.”
