House Speaker Mike Johnson is laying out a highly ambitious strategy to pass his agenda in “ one big, beautiful bill” The party-line bill will include provisions about border security, energy, manufacturing and tax policy.

That is an exceptionally tall order for a tiny House majority of 219-215 .

Key senators, including Majority Leader John Thune , have been pushing to break it up into two bills.

A massive package goes against perennial GOP demands to legislate in smaller, single-subject bills.

Trump is also calling on Congress to attach his “no tax on tips” proposal, which is projected to increase the cost of the package.

“We suck at cutting. If we could cut 12 cents I’d freaking throw a God-darn parade,” Rep. Chip Roy , R- Texas , said in an interview Monday .
