House Speaker Mike Johnson on Saturday told the House GOP that President-elect Donald Trump wants a single reconciliation package, pushing back against the two-bill plan that other Republican lawmakers are seeking.
Johnson said this during a private meeting on Capitol Hill, sources told Just the News.
Trump referred to the single reconciliation bill as “one big beautiful bill,” according to The Hill.
Members of the House Freedom Caucus are pushing for a two-bill plan.
“There are a group of us who support breaking it up into two pieces,” Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., told Fox News during an interview. “The first piece, a very small border piece where we give the president the money that he needs to secure our southern border and start deporting illegal, criminal aliens.”
