Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and other House GOP leaders gave remarks Tuesday morning as the clock ticks on advancing President Trump’s “big, beautiful” spending package through the Senate before a July 4 deadline.

Johnson has largely stood behind the president, coming out against a bipartisan war powers resolution that would block the administration from intervening further in the conflict.
