Johnson says he expects to pass most of Trump's agenda with 1 'big, beautiful bill' by Memorial Day

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Sunday he expects to pass President-elect Trump’s agenda through one big reconciliation package before Memorial Day.

In an interview on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Johnson reiterated that Republicans will try to pack in as many policy items as possible into a large reconciliation bill, which would avoid the 60-vote threshold necessary to pass most legislation in the Senate.

Reconciliation legislation requires a simple majority, or 50 votes, in the upper chamber.
