Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) made a call for President-elect Donald Trump and Congress to look at “the numbers” in addressing “out-of-control” spending, about which some Republicans are already in disagreement.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has expressed desire to enact Trump’s agenda in a bigger bill, which would also address cutting down spending, whereas Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has expressed concern over a bill this size getting to Trump’s desk. In giving his take on the matter, the Wisconsin senator noted this debate reflects how “complex” this debate is, stating that he himself prefers a “two-step process” on this, which would include giving the president-elect the money needed to secure the border while taking enough time to prevent a massive tax increase from happening in 2026.
