The speaker of the House and the President have a very close working relationship. And we are running a playbook that was very carefully designed. We worked on the big beautiful bill for a year and a half before we delivered that product over the goal line. I foresaw this moment in time. And victory loves preparation. So that makes the Democrats, and it makes the authors of Punchbowl very nervous because they don't want the Republican Party to advance our policies as efficiently and effectively as we are.
