Scalise Outlines Reconciliation Agenda
On House Republicans fulfilling a mandate from voters:
“[Congressman] Blake [Moore] laid out the bills that we're bringing to the floor again this week. Yesterday, we passed a really important bill for our nation's veterans by [Congressman] Juan Ciscomani, named after Elizabeth Dole. It was good to get that bill passed overwhelmingly out of the House, now over to the Senate.
“[I’m] going to talk a little bit about the planning that we're doing for January. We just got an overwhelming mandate from the voters of this country to, number one, reject the far-left policies that we've seen from the Biden-Harris administration the last four years, but especially to put the country on a different path. We laid out during the campaign what that path would be, but we're now planning for the policies that we would put in place as a Republican majority with a Republican Senate and the White House under President Trump to get our country back on track, to focus on lowering costs for family at the grocery store, at the gas pump, their energy bills, to secure America's border.”
On preparing to quickly deliver relief to the American people:
“Once again, I assembled all the committee chairs last week to go through what we will be doing in budget reconciliation starting in January. This is going to be a busy process next year. We laid out a very aggressive first 100-day agenda, addressing the things that would get our country moving again, that would focus on lowering costs and getting our economy moving, making sure there is no tax hike next year. If Congress takes no action, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act under President Trump, many of those provisions from 2017 would expire, leading to a large tax hike on families. We are going to work to prevent that from happening.
“Ultimately, if you look at what we're focused on right now is being ready day one, starting in January, when we get not only that mandate, but that opportunity to get this country back on track with unified government in Washington to start addressing the problems that were created by President Biden and Vice President Harris. We are ready for that moment. We're already making plans, working with President Trump to get our country moving again quickly so that families can finally get relief, the relief that they not only deserve but the relief that they voted for just a few weeks ago.”
