Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) warned of friction between the Senate and the House of Representatives over enacting President Donald Trump’s agenda, specifically if there is no commitment to return to a “pre-pandemic level” of spending. 

Johnson noted his desire that the president fulfill his vision for the nation and suggested one way this could be accomplished is to “codify” the savings the Department of Government Efficiency is finding in the government. He contended that “monthly rescission packages” ought to be pocketed, citing how so much of the government’s mandatory spending has drastically gone up since 2019.
