He countered former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy&#8217;s claims that\u2062 Speaker Mike Johnson&#8217;s strategy to\u2063 pursue\u2063 a continuing resolution would burden Trump by arguing that this plan would effectively \u200dposition\u200d house Republicans alongside the White House and a Republican Senate amidst\u2063 current negotiations with Democratic leaders. Scalise highlighted that conceding\u200d to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer&#8217;s demands \u2063could lead\u200c to meaningful additional spending, \u2064which Trump opposes. He expressed optimism about reaching an agreement that would \u2063allow Republicans \u2062to control spending more effectively onc \u2063Trump assumes\u200b office.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Scalise assures Congress will be &lsquo;in sync&rsquo; with Trump agenda<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1908122\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>House Majority Leader <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/steve-scalise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Steve Scalise<\/a> (R-LA) dismissed concerns about President-elect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a> being overburdened by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/congress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Congress<\/a> come January, arguing Republican lawmakers in the House and Senate will be &ldquo;in sync&rdquo; with Trump in achieving his agenda.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy argued Sunday that House Speaker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mike-johnson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Mike Johnson&rsquo;s<\/a> (R-LA) plan to push for a continuing resolution would put more pressure on Trump when he takes office in January, preventing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mike-kelly-same-people-criticizing-trump-peddled-russia-collusion-hoax\/\" title=\"Mike Kelly: Same People Criticizing Trump Peddled Russia Collusion Hoax\">president-elect<\/a> from getting &ldquo;a honeymoon.&rdquo; However, Scalise argued Johnson&rsquo;s plan would allow House Republicans to have the White House and the Senate on their side, as they are currently at &ldquo;an impasse&rdquo; with Senate Majority Leader <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/chuck-schumer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Chuck Schumer<\/a> (D-NY) and President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And look, if we just gave Chuck Schumer everything that he wanted and ended it this year as Kevin is suggesting, then Chuck Schumer would get about an extra $80 billion in new spending, and President Trump, by the way, does not want that,&rdquo; Scalise said on Fox Business&rsquo;s Mornings With Maria Bartiromo. &ldquo;And so in an ideal world, we&rsquo;d get a final negotiation, and we&rsquo;d all be in agreement, and we&rsquo;d spend less money.
