Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republican leaders returned from the White House Wednesday night as optimistic about the reconciliation bill as they’ve been in months, with leaders so enthusiastic about the direction of talks that they weren’t ruling out a vote on the legislation in a matter of hours.
“We’re in a very good place,” Johnson told reporters. “I think that all of our colleagues here will really like this final product, and I think we’re going to move forward.”
“The plan is to reconvene,” he added.
