Johnson and Thune to Meet

“Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune will meet today to discuss the budget reconciliation process,” Punchbowl News reports.

“Thune and Johnson frequently meet when Congress is in session. But House and Senate Republicans are now on completely different trajectories when it comes to advancing President Donald Trump’s agenda.”

“Thune said he also talked to Johnson on Monday. And it’s clear Thune and Senate Republicans will move ahead with the markup, despite Johnson’s warning that he won’t bring a Senate-passed reconciliation bill up on the House floor.”
