Speaker Johnson on budget reconciliation process: “We are on track to pass the bill out of the House …and get it over to the next stage by Memorial Day.”
JOHSNON: “We’re sticking to our plan. We had a big six meeting yesterday with Secretary Bessent and Kevin Hassett at NEC, Senator Crapo, who’s the finance chair over there, Leader Thune, I and Jason Smith, Ways and Means Chair. And we had White House folks there as well. And what we discussed was the timeline. As the Treasury Secretary Bessent has said a few times, he — he gave us, you know, credit for moving this so aggressively on this calendar. I’m really glad that we did, because we got to deliver this economic relief to the American people quickly. We got to codify all this. We are on track to pass the bill out of the House, as we’ve said from the very beginning, and get it over to the next stage by Memorial Day.”
Thanks to POTUS’s leadership, the tax bill is moving ahead at rapid speed and Republican unity is strong. Making this historic legislation permanent will give American business and the American people certainty.
