Speaker Johnson Mike Johnson, R-La., said he expected the House will on the GOP’s domestic policy package “around 8-8:30 this morning,” if not sooner.
Asked how he was able to win over the Republican holdouts, Johnson told reporters, “There was just a lot of patience and listening to everyone’s concerns and making sure that their, their concerns were addressed.”
Johnson said he’s talked to Trump “multiple times today, tonight, this morning.”
“I mean, he was up engaged as late as 1 am. He may still be up for all I know. He doesn’t really sleep a lot,” he said.
When asked about the self-imposed July 4 deadline for passage and whether Johnson was disappointed to again be sorting out legislation overnight, he said: “I’m not disappointed. I mean, again, this is part of the process. It’s, when you’re doing a big, comprehensive piece of legislation, you’re going to expect a lot of, a lot of extra time, a lot of questions and a lot of deliberation over it. We factored that in, but we’re still going to meet the deadline.”
