It is time in the House of Representatives, as the next 48 hours will test the leadership of the spokesperson Mike Johnson as it has not happened before, as it is scrambling to secure the votes required to pass Megabel aimed at progressing President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda.
Now the President is scheduled to attend the Republican Parliament Conference at Capitol Hill on Tuesday morning, and many White House officials emphasized ABC News, an attempt to influence the objector.
After a successful vote on Sunday night to send the “Great Grand Law Law” to the House of Representatives Bases Committee, there are now two days completely overlapping Johnson to finish the finishing touches on the draft reconciliation law and Rally Support. And press.
Johnson does not have voices at this time, given the general concerns of both conservatives and moderates. Only three Republican members can lose, so changes in the text of the bill are certainty.
On Monday, the spokesman expressed his confidence in the process of building consensus in the House of Representatives, where legislators make amendments to the draft law.
“It was a process from bottom to top-and this is what everyone wanted, so we delivered it-and we are almost there,” he said. “I am very optimistic that we will find the right balance point to deliver this bill.”
Johnson’s efforts to unify the conference behind the bill is a major test of his hearing, and his ability to connect Trump, which also encourages Republicans to support.
Johnson worked on the weekend of the impact of Republican admission to the House of Representatives Bases Committee to prevent legislation from leaving the committee as it was on Friday. The militants voted at the present Sunday night to allow the draft law to progress, but they still did not provide full support for the draft law.

Earlier on Monday, White House press secretary Caroline Levitte said Trump was “ready to capture the phone” to encourage Republicans to fall into the draft law – but his meeting on Tuesday morning with the entire Republican Conference is a stronger message for those on the fence.
Now, the rules committee is preparing for the listening session at one o’clock on Wednesday morning – and this meeting will determine the parameters to discuss the ground. Meanwhile, the negotiations within the spokesperson’s office will reach the temperature of the fever on Monday and Tuesday, where Republicans wrestle around the barbed points – primarily with regard to the requirements of Medicaid and CAP work on local tax discounts.
“Nothing until the final,” a Republican leader in the House of Representatives told reporters. “It is a fragile process.”
On Monday, Johnson reduced the occupation of the visible concerns that the Republican Party was declining at the last minute changes in the legislation at this late stage of this process.
“We have some problems that must be solved – we are working with all parties to do this – and I am sure we will do that,” Johnson explained.
Why does it meet at 1 am on Wednesday? Virginia Fox, President of the House of Representatives in Virginia Fox, allowed a pleasant laugh as she was walking through the Capitol early Monday morning – ABC News told that the timing should adhere to the House of Representatives after the House of Representatives budget committee voted late on Sunday night to strengthen the draft law.
So what is the rule?

If the Rules Committee reports a positive reconciliation package to the floor, this would keep Johnson’s plans on the date set to vote on the traffic on Thursday – although he threatened to keep the house in the session at the end of this week if there were any obstacles along the way.
Johnson puts his eyes on sending the package to Trump for his signature by July 4, given the “deadline” in mid -July to address the debt limit to avoid the failure to pay.
As negotiations continue to be behind closed doors, Republican assistants emphasize that “95 % of the bill takes place” while they are scrambling to close support. It is expected that a round of changes will deal with technical amendments at the request of Parliament in the Senate, which cleans the text of the draft law and indicated that some legislative language may be fatal for reconciliation privileges in the Senate.
“Everything is on the table,” said one of the senior aides of the Republican Party, stressing the liquidity of comprehensive discussions.
Republicans in the House of Representatives still weigh the possible changes in the implementation dates of the requirements of medical aid work, and what is “possible” for countries to implement them against concern by Republicans whose patience does not extend to 2029, along with Trump’s presidency, as is currently written in the draft law.
“We want to make sure that what we intend to do is matching the ability to implement,” said one of the senior Republican assistants. “Thus, it is difficult to say a specific date at this stage because we are still working through this.”
On salt, the assistants said that the decision “has not been determined yet”-explaining that the members only return to the city after a three-day weekend and the speaker continues to work through it.
On Monday, Levitte treated some Republican contractors who expressed the draft law in addition to the inflationary national deficit, saying that “this bill does not add to the deficit.”
Republicans insist that they will reach at least 1.5 trillion dollars of savings with the draft law with the opposite of Trump’s agendas – noting the letter of the Congress Budget Office confirming that all 11 committees achieved the goals of their reconciliation instructions.
“This work was for a year by knowing what the priorities you want to instill. We have started this long ago and we worked on it,” one of the assistants confirmed. “We will work on all the changes we need to make here, then we will see where the final minute numbers fade. But the bottom line is that we have a budget frame and we will get it.”
As the watch decreased, Johnson rejected questions about the time of the crisis it gives “heartburn”.
“No, I have no heartburn, because I know that we will accomplish this task,” Johnson said.
