Speaker Johnson Top Congress Priority Will Be Renewing Trump’s Tax Cuts

The red wave has solidified its place in Washington. Republicans will maintain control of the House and, more importantly, secure a majority in the Senate. With both chambers aligned, President-elect Donald Trump has the legislative muscle to push his agenda full throttle.

For Americans who’ve struggled under the Biden administration’s floundering economy, relief is finally on the horizon. It’s no longer a question of “if” but “when” things will start turning around.

Trump’s policies promise a laser focus on boosting economic growth, reducing inflation, and restoring the financial security of working families. With GOP lawmakers ready to hit the ground running, expect sweeping reforms.

Tax cuts, deregulation, and policies aimed at reinvigorating small businesses are set to dominate the agenda. In short, better days are coming, and the left can’t do much to stop it.

From Washington Examiner:
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said that renewing President-elect Donald Trump‘s planned tax cuts would be at the top of Congress’s agenda after he takes office in January.

In an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union, Johnson said that Congress was working with Trump to bring down the cost of living through various methods, particularly instituting tax cuts before the JOBS Act expires in 2025.

Tax Cuts and Tipping the Scales

On CNN’s State of the Union, Republican leaders laid out a bold plan to cut the cost of living. Central to the agenda? Tax cuts, including Trump’s proposal to eliminate taxes on tips.

Congress is poised to deliver these changes within the first 100 days, giving the GOP a chance to show voters they mean business. Rep. Mike Johnson emphasized the importance of slashing taxes before the JOBS Act expires in 2025. His promise: the government will stop punishing hard-working Americans for earning an honest living.

The proposal to end taxes on tips has already sparked a grassroots movement. Supporters are scrawling “End Taxes on Tips” on restaurant receipts, turning a policy idea into a viral campaign.

Even Kamala Harris, on her way out, jumped on the bandwagon, trying to co-opt the popular plan. Too little, too late, Kamala—the GOP is already driving this train.

Johnson admitted that Republicans need to “do the math” to ensure these savings are fiscally sound, but his confidence was clear.

“We’ve done it before, and we’ll do it again,” he said. The goal? A pro-growth economy that benefits everyone, from restaurant servers to entrepreneurs.

Delaying the Spending Madness

The Biden years were marked by reckless spending that ballooned the national debt and crushed Americans with inflation. Republicans have had enough.

Johnson hinted at delaying any major funding decisions until 2025, when the GOP will control the trifecta—House, Senate, and White House. It’s a strategic move, ensuring that Democrats can’t sabotage the economy further in their final days of power.

Johnson also noted the looming December 20 deadline for budget negotiations. While the GOP is prepared to pass a temporary measure to keep the government running, their eyes are set on long-term reform.

The message is clear: no more blank checks for wasteful spending.

For Americans, this Republican sweep is more than a political victory—it’s a lifeline. Biden’s failed economic policies are being replaced with a pro-growth agenda designed to put money back in your pocket.

It’s Trump’s America, and it’s already looking brighter.

Key Takeaways:

  • Republicans have secured both the House and Senate, paving the way for Trump’s agenda.
  • Plans to end taxes on tips and reduce reckless spending are central to the GOP’s economic reform.
  • Americans can expect relief from Biden-era policies and a renewed focus on growth and prosperity.
