Following the results of last week’s election, House GOP leadership will speak publicly on Tuesday morning to outline their priorities as Republicans gain full control of both Congress and the White House next year.
This event will highlight their plans for the upcoming legislative session, with a focus on how they intend to address the country’s pressing issues once they take office in January. The timing of their remarks is important, as the House is faced with the pressing question of whether to complete this year’s funding work by the December 20 deadline or defer the task until President-elect Trump assumes office in the new year.
Speaker Mike Johnson and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise to address upcoming agendaThe decision has major implications for both the fiscal outlook and the GOP’s legislative agenda moving forward. Key Republican figures are set to attend the news conference, including Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), and Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.), who chairs the National Republican Congressional Committee.
These leaders will discuss their strategy for managing the remaining legislative responsibilities before year’s end, as well as their broader vision for the country under the leadership of President-elect Trump.
