Speaker Johnson: ‘The American People Gave Trump a Clear Mandate to Enact His America First Agenda, and Republicans Answered the Call’

TRANSCRIPT:

JOHNSON: "After the four years of the Biden and Harris, every single area of public policy was in a disastrous state. And Congress and the White House, we’d been hard at work from day one of this Congress, day one of the Trump Administration, trying to undo all that damage of the last four years, and we’re laying the foundation for what will make our country safer, stronger and more prosperous than ever before. The American people gave President Trump a clear mandate to enact his 'America First' agenda and Republicans answered the call. To date, we’ve enacted 50 of the president’s executive orders, from reining in bureaucratic waste, fraud and abuse, to passing commonsense legislation, to delivering our once-in-a-generation legislative victories through the One Big Beautiful Bill. Let me give you a quick summary: Americans asked for secure borders and safer communities, and Republicans, delivered the largest investment in border security and interior enforcement on record. And with the Halt Fentanyl Act and with the Laken Riley Act, we’re making sure American communities are safe from deadly drugs and illegal aliens that have taken far too many lives. The American people asked us for bigger paychecks and more affordable gas and groceries, and we delivered on that, too. We delivered the largest working and middle-class tax cut in the history of the United States, and we’ve torn down Biden era regulations like the California EV mandate that was just madness and it worked against working families and American energy dominance. The American people demanded fiscal sanity and Republicans delivered again. We passed more than $1.5T in spending cuts, so the government can begin to live within its means again. All of this is real positive change for American families."
