House Republican Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) took a victory lap in a speech Thursday in which he cheered President Donald Trump for his leadership. Meanwhile, the bill he's so excited about still must pass the Senate — and things aren't looking good.

Speaker Mike Johnson expressed optimism that the budget bill would reach the House floor before Memorial Day as lawmakers prepare to vote at 10 p.m. Sunday.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson faces a formidable challenge in galvanizing the GOP around his expansive tax and spending package, and assuaging the many concerns Republicans hold about the "Big, Beautiful Bill.

La., said some tweaks had been made to the bill that failed to pass on Friday but claimed they were just “minor modifications.”
