House Speaker Johnson admits timeline for Trump agenda bill may slide
House Speaker Mike Johnson acknowledged his ambitious timeline to pass President Trump's sweeping legislative agenda may slide.
"Everybody remains on in close coordination on the urgency of the hour, and we are trying to get it [the bill] done. If it's not done before Memorial Day, will be shortly thereafter. But our timetable is on pace and we're going to get this done ASAP," Johnson said at the Capitol Monday afternoon.

Johnson downplayed any struggles or disagreements in trying to meet his Memorial Day timeline for House Republicans to pass the bill to fund Trump's agenda. Republicans remain apart on issues like SALT (the state and local tax) and Medicaid benefits -- major sticking points for members to ultimately support the package.
"It's not a setback at all," Johnson said, referring to House Ways and Means Committee and Energy and Commerce Committee pushing back their planned markups by a week.
The speaker concluded by declaring that the timeline for Trump's agenda bill is "on track" and "if anybody tells you otherwise, they're not in the room." These comments come after Johnson, Trump and other top Republicans met at the White House last Thursday.
