House Speaker Mike Johnson Pushes Aggressive Timeline for Trump-Era Budget Bill
House Speaker Mike Johnson is leading a round-the-clock effort to pass what he describes as a "nation-shaping" budget bill before Memorial Day. All 11 committees have finalized their work, with spending coming in below projections. "This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity," Johnson declared on Fox News Sunday.
The legislation now moves to the Budget Committee before progressing to the House Rules Committee mid-week. Johnson aims for a full House vote by week’s end, maintaining what he calls a "mandate from the American people." The accelerated timeline reflects the bill’s political priority for Republican leadership.
