House Speaker Mike Johnson has developed a playbook for a Republican-controlled Congress to jump-start Donald Trump’s second-term agenda, should he win the presidency. The plan addresses the top issues for voters: immigration and the economy.

“We’d be prepared to lead on Day One in the new Congress,” Johnson said, adding he felt he would have “a larger majority to work with” in the House after the elections.
