Mike Johnson

Elon was a big contributor in the last election, but this was a whole team effort.

I believe in redemption. I hope we can resolve it, get everybody together again.

We’ve gotta get it done, and I think Elon understands the weight of that. I hope he comes around, and I’d love to talk to him this week, and I hope he calls me back today.

I know that the [electric vehicle] mandate is very important to him. I know that has an effect on his business and I lament that.

The primary emphasis is on the work requirements.

We're not buying the CBO estimates.

Am I concerned about the effect of this on the midterms? I’m not.

People will not lose their Medicaid unless they choose to do so

Elon is missing it, OK? And it’s not personal. I know that the [electric vehicle] mandate’s very important to him.

This is the key to the economic resurgence of America. It’s going to be jet fuel for the economy.

It’s a big priority for me.

The House will act quickly on this request.

This rescissions package reflects many of DOGE’s findings and is one of the many legislative tools Republicans are using to restore fiscal sanity.

There are no Medicaid cuts

I am telling you, this is going to reduce the deficit.

The House is eager and ready to act on DOGE's findings so we can deliver even more cuts to big government that President Trump wants and the American people demand.

They are protected in what we're doing because we're preserving the resources for those who need it most.

We are not cutting Medicaid.

For him to come out and pan the whole bill is, to me, just very disappointing, very surprising.

I just deeply regret that he's made this mistake.

Those 4.8 million people will not lose their Medicaid unless they choose to do so.

4.8 million people will not lose their Medicaid unless they choose to do so.

Millions of people won’t lose coverage unless they choose to do so.

I encouraged them to make as few modifications as possible, remembering that I have a very delicate balance on our very diverse Republican caucus over in the House.

We're all going to have a glorious celebration on Independence Day, by July 4, when he gets this signed into law.
