Speaker of the House Mike Johnson says that President Donald Trump and Republicans will not cut Social Security, Medicaid or Medicare despite potential cuts to the programs being floated amid a budget battle in Congress.

House Speaker Mike Johnson pulled his caucus through a tight vote Tuesday as he fights to deliver on several of Donald Trump’s legislative priorities in one large bill.As a reward, his party will now undergo a public battle over where to come up with hundreds of billions of dollars in spending cuts — much of which the GOP has claimed will come from Medicaid.

9:06 a.m. EST, Feb. 26 Trump said the bill’s passage is a “Big First Step Win for Speaker Mike Johnson, and AMERICA” in a Truth Social post, calling on Congress to “start to BALANCE THE BUDGET,” while insisting “IT CAN BE DONE!!!”

The House adopted its GOP budget resolution after leadership briefly pulled it from the floor Tuesday night, a dramatic win for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) after hard-line conservatives seemed poised to sink the vote.
