Rep. Ralph Norman:
Well, first of all, President Trump was very gracious with his time. He told us some things we didn’t know that were a reality, and he had his — Russ Vought and others there to answer questions. And he’s been doing that all day.
He spent about two hours with us, very uplifting. And we expressed our concerns and continued to do it throughout the day. I just left a meeting with about 20 who were meeting with his staff. And the ticking time bomb is debt. And that’s what one of the questions we had. The other were the particulars, the Inflation Reduction Act credits, which were a problem, the illegal aliens voting, the able-bodied Americans who chose not to work and getting a paycheck.
All of that went into great discussion that started early this morning with the speaker. And we will see how it goes. But the first step is getting everything on the table and having questions answered. And I think, in about another hour, the meeting should end and then we will see what the consensus is.
I don’t see it coming on the floor if it doesn’t have the votes. So we will see.
