DORAL, Florida — House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is pushing a second sweeping reconciliation bill, but the proposal remains more concept than legislation — with no detailed plan, doubts from senior lawmakers, and little sign that President Donald Trump has embraced the effort.

Johnson’s hopes for the megabill took a hit when Trump did not mention reconciliation once while speaking at the House GOP’s policy retreat this week. During an hourlong speech, Trump said passing the SAVE America Act should be the “No. 1 priority,” even if it takes Republicans the remainder of the 119th Congress. The legislation would mandate identification to cast a ballot and proof of citizenship to register to vote nationwide.
