  • President-elect Donald Trump said he would be open to the GOP passing two bills under reconciliation, a stance that comes after he previously called for his party to focus on one reconciliation bill.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's evolving stance on the reconciliation process for passing legislation in Congress. Initially, Trump had expressed opposition to a large, omnibus reconciliation bill, which would allow Democrats to pass significant legislation with a simple majority. However, recent reports suggest that Trump has softened his position. He now appears open to a two-track process where smaller, targeted bills could be passed alongside a larger reconciliation package. This shift could potentially facilitate bipartisan negotiations and allow for more incremental legislative achievements. Trump's change in approach might be influenced by the political dynamics and the need to show legislative progress, especially in areas like infrastructure, where bipartisan support could be garnered.
