The Trump administration is actively pushing Republicans in Congress to advance crucial tax and border security legislation. House Speaker Mike Johnson met with Trump, conveying optimism about the legislative package. Key elements include a significant increase in the debt ceiling, an extension of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and proposed reductions. Conversations continue over the SALT cap and potential cuts to Biden-era provisions. Johnson aims for passage by Memorial Day, making these discussions critical in the coming weeks.
"We want Congress to get to work," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told pro-Trump "new media" members as Johnson huddled with Trump to hash out the legislative package.
"I just had a great meeting with the president at the White House," the speaker announced after returning to Capitol Hill in the afternoon, "and he's in good spirits and we are as well."
