Speaker Mike Johnson vowed that an ambitious bill addressing a range of President-elect Donald Trump’s priorities will be voted out of the US House in April, a tight schedule for his narrowly divided chamber.
In an interview on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, Johnson said Republicans would use what is known as the reconciliation process, which only requires a simple majority of 51 in the Senate. That means Republicans can pass the legislation without Democratic votes.
