In response to Donald Trump pushing for a sweeping MAGA reconciliation bill,<\/em> DNC Rapid Response Director Alex Floyd released the following statement:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStraight out of the gate, Donald Trump is pushing a sweeping reconciliation bill that will feature the worst and most unpopular parts of his Project 2025 agenda \u2014 from tax handouts for the ultra-rich to playing politics with border security. As Trump\u2019s MAGA minions in Congress scramble to fall in line behind his toxic agenda, Democrats will fight back against this extreme and out-of-touch legislation that puts billionaires and special interests over working families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald Trump is pushing for his MAGA minions in Congress to pass one massive bill with the most extreme and unpopular components of his Project 2025 agenda.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill<\/a>: \u201cPresident-elect Trump on Sunday made public his support for Republican lawmakers to pass key components of his agenda into law with a single reconciliation bill<\/strong>, previewing what is expected to be a lengthy and complicated legislative task in the first few months of his second term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Members of Congress are getting to work on one powerful Bill that will bring our Country back, and make it greater than ever before,\u2019 Trump posted on Truth Social.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018We must Secure our Border, Unleash American Energy, and Renew the Trump Tax Cuts, which were the largest in History, but we will make it even better<\/strong> \u2013 NO TAX ON TIPS,\u2019 he added, making the dubious claim that tariffs on foreign imports would offset for the cost of new spending and tax cuts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Republicans must unite, and quickly deliver these Historic Victories for the American People,\u2019 Trump posted. \u2018Get smart, tough, and send the Bill to my desk to sign as soon as possible.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cTrump backs massive single bill for taxes, border and energy\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrump, on Truth Social, revived one topic that causes heartburn among a swath of congressional Republicans \u2014 using tariffs to help pay for the tax package. <\/strong>Trump\u2019s talk of tariffs has sparked unease particularly in the Senate, where farm state Republicans worry the agriculture industry will be the target of foreign retaliation. Key Senate Republicans have also said they don\u2019t believe tariffs are a viable option as spending offsets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navigator Research<\/a>: \u201cA Majority of Americans Continue to Oppose Project 2025\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProject 2025 remains deeply unpopular. \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmericans believe Project 2025 accurately describes what Trump stands for by double-digit margins.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navigator Research<\/a>: \u201cAmericans oppose all the key elements in Project 2025 \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmericans\u2019 overall opposition to Project 2025 increases after reading about its specific policy goals. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThree in five Americans say Project 2025 would benefit the wealthiest Americans, CEOs, and corporations.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Week<\/a>: \u201cMany of Trump\u2019s indicated plans for a second term fall in line with the Project 2025 outline.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico<\/a>: \u201cOn Tax Day, Trump tax cuts remain deeply unpopular\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republicans are ready to do Trump\u2019s bidding at the expense of the American people.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cGOP congressional leaders set the stage to move on Trump\u2019s agenda<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDonald Trump and his GOP allies in Congress have recently shared some of the first details of their ambitious agenda \u2014 sweeping tax cuts, border security and raising the debt limit \u2014 which they hope to muscle through in the first 100 days of the president-elect\u2019s term.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roll Call<\/a>: \u201cSpeaker Mike Johnson laid out an ambitious timeline Sunday for a mammoth budget reconciliation package that would enact much of President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s legislative agenda in the first 100 days of his new administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe House plans to pass a single reconciliation bill as soon as April 3 that would incorporate border security, the extension of expiring tax cuts and an increase in the nation\u2019s borrowing limit coupled with spending cuts, among other things, Johnson said on Fox\u2019s \u2018Sunday Morning Futures\u2019 program. He said the Senate would then clear the package for Trump\u2019s signature by the end of April or \u2018certainly by May.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
