Last night, Speaker Johnson appeared on Fox News' Hannity with Kellyanne Conway to discuss several key issues, including budget reconciliation and the urgency of advancing President Trump's agenda. Johnson emphasized the importance of swift action in Congress to implement policy changes through the budget reconciliation process. He noted that this method bypasses the usual 60-vote threshold in the Senate, allowing for more efficient progress on Republican priorities.

Johnson outlined a range of objectives, such as border security, economic revitalization, energy policy reform, and preventing significant tax increases when Trump-era tax cuts expire. He expressed confidence in achieving these goals by building consensus among Republicans.

Discussing the mandate from President Trump, Johnson highlighted the unified government under Republican control as an opportunity to advance common-sense policies. He referred to a demographic shift during the election cycle and emphasized the importance of executing Trump's mandate to preserve America's future.

Johnson also expressed gratitude for President Trump's endorsement for his role as Speaker. He stressed the need for a proven fighter who can collaborate with all members of the House GOP to achieve Trump's priorities.

Regarding potential support from Congressional Democrats, Johnson welcomed bipartisan cooperation. He noted that some Democrats might be inclined to support Republican policies or even consider switching parties due to perceived disarray within their ranks.
