House Freedom Caucus Releases Lame-Duck Agenda for Final Weeks of 119th Congress
The House Freedom Caucus has released a last-minute legislative roadmap for the final weeks of the 119th Congress, demanding action on issues including voter ID, border security, spending cuts, and term limits. The group is urging Republicans to use their remaining time in power to deliver on President Donald Trump's priorities before Democrats take control on January 3, 2027.
With just 20 scheduled legislative days remaining in the House and 22 in the Senate before the new Congress takes office on January 3, 2027, the House Freedom Caucus has delivered an explosive, last-minute America First agenda to House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune. On Monday, members of the House Freedom Caucus released an ambitious legislative roadmap demanding that Republicans use their final weeks in power to deliver on President Donald Trump’s priorities before Democrats take control on January 3, 2027. The agenda includes mandatory voter identification in federal elections, sweeping border security legislation, a crackdown on sanctuary cities, congressional term limits, a ban on government officials trading stocks, major energy reforms, and at least $1 trillion in federal spending reductions. The conservative lawmakers are also demanding that the Senate confirm as many Trump nominees as possible before Republicans surrender their majority. The letter, signed by the House Freedom Caucus Board, requests that Republicans take action in the next 60 days to protect the citizens they represent and not leave town until they accomplish these objectives.
