The House Freedom Caucus has endorsed a two-track approach to advancing President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda amid some Republican division over the reconciliation process. The conservative bloc is pushing for an initial bill to address border security followed by a second one to tackle other policy priorities, including taxes.
In a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Dec. 13, the group’s board of directors urged swift action on a border reconciliation package, arguing that securing resources for Trump’s immigration policies immediately after he takes office in January should be the top priority.
