WASHINGTON — Speaker Johnson released the following statement on President Trump’s proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2026:
“President Trump’s proposed budget is a bold blueprint that reflects the values of hardworking Americans and the commitment to American strength and prosperity.
“Our country cannot continue to bear the hard consequences of years of runaway spending under Democratic leadership, and this budget makes clear that fiscal discipline is non-negotiable. President Trump’s plan ensures every federal taxpayer dollar spent is used to serve the American people, not a bloated bureaucracy or partisan pet projects.
“House Republicans stand ready to work alongside President Trump to implement a responsible budget that puts America first. This budget also reflects the critical role the One Big, Beautiful Bill will play in securing our border and strengthening our national security. This proposal promises the American people that their government is finally listening, leading with commonsense, and restoring the principles of good governance.”
