Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Tuesday outlined his economic agenda for the first 100 days under a second Trump administration — a plan that assumes Republicans will win unified control of government in 2025.
In a speech at the conservative America First Policy Institute that was followed by a discussion with Larry Kudlow, Johnson outlined priorities for tax policy, prioritizing U.S. investment, eliminating green initiatives championed by Democrats, reforming education, and rooting out wasteful spending.
“We’ve been working very aggressively to put together a very aggressive first 100 days agenda for the Congress, and in the days beyond,” Johnson said.
“Now, we don’t put the cart before the horse. We got a lot to do between now and Election Day. But I believe that what I’m seeing on the ground is going to happen, that we are going to have this opportunity,” Johnson said. “So, we got to be prepared on day one.”
Johnson has long been working on his legislative plans for 2025, aiming to swiftly send conservative policies to former President Trump’s desk if he wins another term. That planning has included pitching Senate Republicans on the idea of using an obscure budget procedure known as reconciliation to enact major conservative legislation in order to overcome opposition from Democrats and bypass the Senate filibuster.
