United States House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday expressed strong alignment with President Donald Trump, affirming the administration’s recognized authority and effective policy direction. Speaking at the Axios News Shaper event, Johnson stated that in the case of any future imbalance of power between the executive branch and Congress, his first step would be to 'call the president and talk to him' before taking any other actions.

Johnson underscored his trust in Trump’s leadership, emphasizing that the current administration's governance is working. His remarks suggest a close working relationship and a unified front between congressional Republicans and the White House.

One of the key announcements from Johnson’s appearance was regarding a sweeping legislative package he referred to as 'one big beautiful bill.' He noted that the bill could be passed as early as June. Central to the proposal is a substantial $1.5 trillion in federal spending cuts, a promise Johnson reiterated during his remarks. The bill is expected to reflect conservative fiscal priorities and bolster the administration’s economic platform.

As the legislative process advances, Johnson’s comments signal a coordinated strategy to reinforce Trump’s policy agenda through Congress. The acknowledgment of potential power friction between the branches — and Johnson’s preference for direct communication with Trump — underscores the strategic collaboration between legislative and executive leadership.

The anticipated June vote on the spending cuts bill marks a significant legislative milestone and could reshape federal budgeting for the remainder of Trump’s term. If passed, the $1.5 trillion in cuts would represent one of the largest deficit reduction efforts in recent U.S. history under a sitting president’s term.
