House and Senate Republicans are endorsing a two-step approach to enact President-elect Donald Trump‘s agenda early next Congress, ensuring a border security-focused reconciliation bill is prioritized in January 2025, followed by tax legislation.

House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris (R-MD) and Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) sent a letter to incoming Senate Republican Leader John Thune (R-SD) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Wednesday, stressing the need to prioritize the prompt passage of a border security-focused reconciliation bill at the beginning of the 119^th Congress. They also mentioned a second bill that would extend the Trump administration tax cuts while “including necessary spending reforms and cuts.”
