House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said Tuesday evening that GOP leaders are on track to vote on President Trump’s domestic agenda before Friday.
Johnson has been in countless conversations with the two groups of lawmakers who, as recently as Tuesday morning, were still threatening to sink the package.
But an 11th-hour offer to the SALT Caucus stirred a new openness in those moderates to support the bill — if the math adds up to their liking. And several of the conservative spending hawks had also softened their opposition by Tuesday afternoon.
Johnson said that progress puts the House on track to pass a rule governing the bill on Wednesday and the final vote no later than Thursday.
“We’re still finalizing things, but it’s not going to be a heavy lift,” he said.
