President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet at the White House Monday afternoon with Speaker Mike Johnson, beginning the first of several key legislative weeks for the president’s immigration, economic and tax policy agenda.
The legislating all starts Tuesday, when the House Armed Services and Education and the Workforce committees get to work on their portions of the broader House reconciliation bill, dubbed by the president and supportive Republicans as “one big, beautiful bill.” Johnson, R-La., has been aiming to get the measure to the president’s desk before the Memorial Day recess — just four weeks away.
To keep on schedule, House Republicans will need to be in Washington on Tuesday, and Trump said over the weekend said they should not travel to Michigan for his scheduled rally marking the first 100 days of his second term.
“It is much more important that everyone stay in Washington this week to work hard and fast on all of it – IT MUST BE DONE. We will unleash Economic Prosperity, and accelerate into the Golden Age of America,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “You will be missed, but your work is far too important to take any time off. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
