Steve Scalise says Republicans already have big plans for the first 100 days

McALLEN, TX — House Republicans are already thinking about what government would look like if the GOP controlled all of Washington next year. And House Majority Leader Steve Scalise told NOTUS on Monday that Republicans want to pass a package through budget reconciliation in the first 100 days that would cut taxes and provide new funding for a border wall.

“I have already spoken to President Trump about what his top priorities would be,” Scalise said during an interview at the border.

“Of course there are some things he can do through executive action, like end detention and release,” Scalise continued, referring to the practice of releasing migrants held at the border while they are on await an immigration hearing. “On day one he would start negotiating to stay in Mexico, but he would need additional funding to start building the wall again, and we could bring that into something like a budget vote.”
