House Speaker Mike Johnson criticized Democrats on Tuesday, accusing them of putting politics ahead of American livelihoods in the latest legislative debate.

“There’s nothing new in this legislation. The only difference today is the man who is sitting in the Oval Office,” Johnson said. “Rather than work with President Trump and Republicans to get this job done, Democrats want to play political games with the livelihoods of Americans.”

Johnson’s remarks highlight growing partisan tensions in Congress, with Republicans arguing that Democrats are stalling progress for political advantage. The Speaker called for bipartisan cooperation to advance the bill and deliver solutions for working families.

As negotiations continue, both parties remain locked in disputes over spending priorities, policy provisions, and the broader direction of the legislation.
