Speaker Mike Johnson Says Trump Is The Coach Calling Plays. But What If Coach Changes His Mind?

House Speaker Mike Johnson often says he sees himself as the quarterback and President-elect Donald Trump as the coach calling plays on their legislative priorities as Republicans take power in Washington.

But with Trump set to meet with GOP senators Wednesday on Capitol Hill, Republicans are quickly finding themselves in a dilemma: What happens when the coach changes his mind?

Trump has given mixed signals, flip-flopping over what is the best strategy for moving ahead with the party's legislative agenda . At stake are tax cuts, border security, money to deport immigrants and efforts to boost oil and gas energy production - priorities for Republicans coming to the White House, House and Senate.

One bill or two, with little time to waste on achieving Trump's priorities

House Republicans want a single package. Senate leaders are proposing at least two.
