Senator Jim Banks (R-IN) says President-elect Donald Trump's support was crucial for Mike Johnson's election as Speaker of the House and that the House is unified behind Trump's agenda. Banks argues that passing Trump's priorities, including border security, tax cuts, and energy, should be done quickly, regardless of the number of reconciliation bills needed.
Senator Jim Banks said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Speaker Mike Johnson secured his leadership position with the assistance of President-elect Donald Trump .
Host Jake Tapper said, “So Speaker Johnson told Republicans that President-elect Trump wants Congress to pass his agenda on the border security, tax cuts and energy in one big sweeping reconciliation package. House Republicans had difficulty staying on the same page when it came to electing Speaker Johnson, although he did make it.
Banks said, “I’m for doing it in one bill and this week is good evidence. Donald Trump weighed in in support of Mike Johnson. I don’t think Mike Johnson would be Speaker of the House this morning if Donald Trump wouldn’t have weighed in last week, spent political capital to help him get elected on one vote.
