Punchbowl News: “House Republican leaders decided at their Florida retreat last weekend that they’re going to pursue a second reconciliation package this year, according to multiple sources who attended the gathering.”
“The only problem is they have no idea what will go in the package or how they’re going to pay for it.”
“Johnson is the most optimistic person — some would say unrealistic — in the House Republican leadership. He’s been on a bit of an island in his desire to draft and pass a second reconciliation package.”
“The rest of the House GOP leadership is skeptical that the Republican Conference has the political will — or discipline — to cobble together another such bill. To be fair, we’re also skeptical given Republicans’ one-vote cushion in the House. There’s also serious doubt in the Senate that this can happen.”
