President Trump Reaches Deal with House GOP

President Donald Trump has announced that he made a deal with most of the House Republicans who derailed a procedural vote on a package of legislation, including three cryptocurrency bills. More on this from Bernie Bennett.

VERBATIM: President Trump wrote on Truth Social Tuesday night: “I am in the Oval Office with 11 of the 12 Congressmen/women necessary to pass the GENIUS Act and, after a short discussion, they have all agreed to vote tomorrow morning in favor of the Rule.

“Speaker of the House Mike Johnson was at the meeting via telephone, and looks forward to taking the Vote as early as possible. I want to thank the Congressmen/women for their quick and positive response. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

The deal followed days of GOP infighting that threatened to stall the president’s legislative agenda in the House.
