Sen. Ron Johnson: Senate will be central to pay-fors, says he's "happy to work" with leadership
Summary
In a pre-recorded clip, Sen. Ron Johnson said he is "happy to work with the majority leader to pay for all of it" and that the Senate committees and conference team will be decisive in resolving pay-fors and amendment management.
A pre-recorded clip of Sen. Ron Johnson aired in which he said the Senate and its committees will be the forum for resolving pay-fors tied to the House reconciliation framework. "I am happy to work with the majority leader to pay for all of it," Johnson said in the segment the host played for viewers.
Johnson added he had spoken with the House budget chair, Jody Arrington, and argued the Senate — particularly Senate Finance and the Conference team — would be where offsets are finalized and where an "endless amendment vote-a-rama" could be managed or pose risks. No Senate response or formal Senate procedural filing was included in the broadcast clip.
