Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) said the budget reconciliation bill is “the most immediate thing” to which he and his fellow Republican senators are committed.
While appearing on My View with Lara Trump, Thune promised the upcoming reconciliation bill will include measures for ensuring the United States’s energy independence and dominance, tax relief, government spending reduction, border security, and a “significant” investment in military readiness.
“Legislative bodies, by definition, are — it’s hard, arduous work, but we know where we want to get,” Thune said. “What the American people voted for is an agenda that we are all on the same page with.”
“You just want to serve causes that are greater than yourself. You want to live a life of purpose, and I feel what we are doing right now is very purposeful. So there is satisfaction in that,” he also said.

Thune also noted how the Democratic Party is currently “floundering,” saying that while they are “looking for an identity” his role as leader has come to include managing Democrats’ “antics.”
“It’s hard and you feel the weight of it,” Thune said, reflecting on his role as Senate majority leader, “just the management of the floor on a daily basis, and particularly with all the shenanigans the Democrats are trying to pull and how they are trying to slow and stop what we are trying to get done, you have to be very persistent and tough. But that’s what we are committed to.”
