They did it again.After a 72-hour marathon of wrangling votes to keep the GOP caucus in line, Speaker Mike Johnson and President Donald Trump worked together to pass the "One Big Beautiful Bill."Its a major, historic hurdle that will be the defining legislative product of President Trumps second term.From the outset, the political class in Washington scoffed and mocked Johnsons commitment to deliver the bill by Memorial Day weekend. Almost daily, the beltway media declared the timeframe unworkable and Speaker Johnsons coalition too fragile to meet such an ambitious deadline.MIKE JOHNSON, PRESIDENT TRUMP GET BIG, BEAUTIFUL WIN AS BUDGET PASSES HOUSECertainly, past efforts to advance marquee legislation like this have not moved this quickly so early in a presidency. Former President Bidens Inflation Reduction Act didnt clear Congress until deep into his second year. The Affordable Care Act was signed 14 months into President Obamas term. Even the 2017 Trump tax cuts came together in late December.But President Trump and Speaker Johnson are a formidable team. More than a year ago, Speaker Johnson was confident that Trump would return to the White House and Republicans would retake control of Congress. So, Johnson started planning. He was wisely preparing for unified government to unlock the reconciliation process a budgetary maneuver that allows major fiscal legislation to pass the Senate with a simple majority vote.Johnsons planning paid off big time. He moved swiftly to stand up working groups and frontload the legislative process more than six months before the election. This allowed him and House Republicans to hit the ground running at the onset of the 119th Congress. Thursdays successful vote was a testament to Johnsons foresight and his fortitude.Of course, President Trumps involvement was critical for ultimate success. The president made repeated overtures to ideological hardliners and centrist holdouts. Blue state moderates pushed to secure a deal on state and local tax deductions (SALT) among other things, while the House Freedom Caucus sought assurances on deficit reductions. President Trump hosted multiple, hours-long meetings at the White House. And in the sprint to the finish line, the President made a rare trip to Capitol Hill ahead of the vote. This was a gesture of goodwill to signal his support, and of course, to hold the fence-sitters' feet to the fire.All that was critical to the bills passage. President Trump and Speaker Johnson managed to keep this historically small and unruly GOP conference on track. They deftly managed conflicting concerns from within the party. The saber-rattling lasted up to the final hours. In the end, Trump and Johnson never blinked.Johnson is, in many ways, the ideal complement to Trumps tough approach to dealmaking. President Trump thrives on confrontation, and Johnson is methodical and reflective. The affable, young Speaker is thoughtful and pensive. He genuinely cares for and is interested in the concerns of his colleagues. These traits are rooted in his deep Christian faith.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONTheyre the exact traits that have earned him a reservoir of goodwill across the GOP conference that many of his predecessors never enjoyed.

I knew Boehner. I knew Paul Ryan. There is genuineness There is a humbleness. It just comes through."This goodwill has translated into a string of legislative victories. Under Speaker Johnsons leadership, House Republicans have logged win after win on key pieces of legislation -- from the National Security Supplemental ,to successive government funding bills, to the high-stakes House Budget resolution that set the stage for the Big Beautiful Bill. In more than 28 non-party-line votes in the House, hes suffered only three defections.
