House Speaker Mike Johnson has committed to providing Donald Trump with a major reconciliation bill by May, within the first 100 days of Trump’s new administration.
The reconciliation approach aims to consolidate budget concerns into one comprehensive bill, aligning with Trump's vision of a "big, beautiful bill."
Johnson plans to initiate a House vote possibly in the first week of April, facilitating the bill’s delivery to the Senate by the end of April.
The reconciliation process allows significant legislation to pass with a simple majority, crucial given the narrow Republican margins in Congress.
Challenges may arise, particularly over border security funding, as Johnson needs to address diverse demands within the Republican Party.
