WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a passionate address, House Speaker Mike Johnson credited President Donald Trump for what he called a “historic transformation” in American governance, highlighting the passage of the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" as a milestone for the America First agenda.

“We have been making history together, and we're making history because you are the visionary, bold, strong leader that America needed,” Johnson said, addressing Trump during a recent event. “The exciting thing about the Big Beautiful Bill is America First is no longer just an agenda—it is now the law of the land.”

The bill, which passed with significant Republican support in both chambers of Congress, reportedly includes sweeping provisions aligned with Trump's long-standing priorities: border security, energy independence, trade reform, and military strength. Details of the legislation are expected to be released in full later this week, but early reports suggest the bill cements a number of Trump-era policies into federal statute.

Speaker Johnson's remarks underline a broader shift in the Republican Party, as Trump’s platform transitions from campaign rhetoric to codified law. For supporters, the bill marks the realization of promises made since 2016. For critics, it raises concerns over the long-term impact of a more nationalistic and unilateral policy framework.

Still, Johnson remained resolute in his praise. “This is not just a win for a party. It’s a win for the American people who believe in sovereignty, strength, and security.”

As the GOP heads into the 2026 midterms with a unified message, the codification of “America First” into federal law signals a new phase in U.S. politics—one with Trumpism firmly at the center of Republican governance.
