Speaker Johnson speaks to media before Elon Musk & Vivek Ramaswamy meet with lawmakers on government efficiency: “We need to make government more efficient.”

Speaker Mike Johnson gave slightly more information at a scheduled presser ahead of the presentation by Musk and Ramaswamy, but even he said that there would be little in terms of real substance released to the press today. “They’re innovators and they’re forward thinkers, and so that’s what we need right now,” Johnson said of Musk and Ramaswamy. “We need to make government more efficient. And that is what this whole objective is. It’s what the DOGE effort will be about. You’re going to see a bicameral cooperation, and it will be, by the way, bipartisan.”
He pointed to a number of Democrats he said had already come forward to join the effort. But he dodged a question regarding whether it was truly feasible to make such deep cuts to the federal budget without touching Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid, the bulk of America’s medical and financial safety net for low-income and older citizens.
