Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and other House GOP leaders will give remarks Tuesday morning as the clock ticks on advancing President Trump’s “big, beautiful” spending package through the Senate before a July 4 deadline.
The self-imposed deadline is less than two weeks away as the upper chamber mulls changes to the House-passed bill — and after several measures were rejected by the Senate parliamentarian.
It also comes as lawmakers question Trump’s authorization of U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities over the weekend without consulting Congress. Johnson has largely stood behind the president, coming out against a bipartisan war powers resolution that would block the administration from intervening further in the conflict.
The press conference is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.
