"Members of Congress are getting to work on one powerful Bill that will bring our Country back, and make it greater than ever before. We must Secure our Border, Unleash American Energy, and Renew the Trump Tax Cuts, which were the largest in History, but we will make it even better - NO TAX ON TIPS," Trump declared in a post on Truth Social.

"IT WILL ALL BE MADE UP WITH TARIFFS, AND MUCH MORE, FROM COUNTRIES THAT HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE U.S. FOR YEARS. Republicans must unite, and quickly deliver these Historic Victories for the American People. Get smart, tough, and send the Bill to my desk to sign as soon as possible," Trump urged.

Johnson, who described it as "One big up or down vote which can save the country," noted that he thinks the measure, which will tackle various issues, will also address the debt ceiling.

He indicated that lawmakers are aiming to hold the House vote during the first week of April - the lawmaker said it could potentially clear the chamber as soon as April 3, then head to the Senate, and eventually arrive on Trump's desk by the end of April, or by Memorial Day in a "worst case scenario." 

Johnson retained the speaker's gavel last week after Trump backed him. House Republicans, with the exception of Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., voted for Johnson to remain in the role he has occupied since late October 2023. Two Republicans who initially did not vote for Johnson, ultimately switched their votes to Johnson, handing him the win.

Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, has warned that the U.S. "Senate will be one of the biggest barriers to cutting spending and shrinking government," and "will need public pressure." 

He added the hashtag "#DOGE," referring to the Department of Government Efficiency, an outside of government effort to advocate for decreased government spending, which is being spearheaded by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
