WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson said on Tuesday that the idea is to vote on a budget bill on the floor of the House of Representatives by Easter and send it to the president’s desk by Memorial Day.

Johnson also said as wildfires continue to rage in southern California that disaster relief will be part of the budget reconciliation discussion and debate.
