Speaker Johnson on Funding the FAA: The Problem Is That We Could Not Get Any Dems to Assist, We Did It Only with Republican Votes

‘That investment is being made, but we need a lot more’

RUSH EXCERPT:
JOHNSON: "Yeah. I’m here in D.C. this weekend working on that. We were working on an aggressive legislative package to finish out the year strong, run through the tape, Kayleigh, and this will be add added to that. Look, I give a lot of credit the President Trump and secretary duffy. They’ve been sounding the alarm since the beginning of this Congress. I try to echo those alarms. And as you to know, we got about $12 billion, almost $13 billion in the working families tax cut to sort of assist as a down payment on that. But the problem is we could not get any Democrats to assist. So we had to do that only with Republican votes. And so we did get that to the president’s desk for signature. That investment is being made, but we need a lot more. And this is a very important investment, obviously, for everyone, and as duffy said, it should not be a partisan issue. But everything in Washington is these days, unfortunately."
