How To Get Trump's Agenda Through Congress | Ryan Walker
A sweeping election victory on Nov. 5 means Republicans will have control of the House, Senate, and the White House come January. Capturing this trifecta, however, was just the beginning of conservatives’ fight to save the country.
Now comes the much harder task: conservatives actually have to govern. Republicans, animated by President-elect Donald Trump’s winning agenda, will have to work at record pace to get the changes the American people want through the slow-turning gears of Washington, D.C.
To preview the incoming Congress, I spoke to Ryan Walker, executive vice president of Heritage Action for America, on this week’s episode of “The Signal Sitdown.” Walker has nearly a decade of experience working for the House of Representatives under his belt and is now tasked with ensuring conservative grassroots priorities are attended to on Capitol Hill.
While Republicans have a strong majority in the Senate, it is nowhere near the 60 votes needed to overcome the Senate filibuster. Nevertheless, there are some mechanisms that exist for the Senate to circumvent the filibuster and pass their agenda with a simple majority vote in the upper chamber. And Republicans are planning to put one of these mechanisms, budget reconciliation, to use to pass large portions of Trump’s agenda.
In this upcoming budget reconciliation process, Walker told me that “the American people have demanded that [Congress] go big.”
“[The American people] don't just want a bill dealing with tax reform,” Walker continued. “They want substantial change to the way the government functions. They want the border closed. They want inflation to come down. They want crime rates to drop. They want folks to start acting in a way that is not weaponizing government agencies against the people. They want spying on American citizens to stop. They want their votes to count and illegals to not be allowed to vote in federal elections or even state and local elections.”
To no surprise, the American people actually want the policies they voted for in November to be enacted, Walker suggested. “Regardless of which strategy,” Republicans in Congress go with, Walker said, “it needs to be a big and massive piece of policy change.”
