House Speaker Mike Johnson is committed to pushing Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ through by keeping the vote open for as long as necessary.
With Donald Trump’s massive ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ hanging in the balance, House Speaker Mike Johnson is pulling out all the stops to get it over the finish line.
Speaking to Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Wednesday evening, Johnson said the House will keep the procedural vote open “as long as it takes” to give members time to ask questions and reconsider their positions on the Trump-backed legislation.
Republicans can only afford to lose three votes to advance the bill, but there are currently four GOP “no” votes blocking the way. The good news for Johnson? Members can still change their votes as long as the roll call remains open.
Johnson said he’s already spoken with three of the four Republican holdouts and is trying to track down the last one. “I think they’re open for conversation,” he said optimistically. “Everybody wants to deliver this agenda for the people, and we’re going to give them every opportunity to do that.”
