Sen. John Barrasso predicted Sunday that President-elect Donald Trump will issue a “blizzard of executive orders” as soon as he takes office on Jan. 20.
“When President Trump takes office next Monday, there will be shock and awe at his executive orders,” the Wyoming Republican said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “It will not only reach the world,” he said. border. “
Executive orders, for better or worse, allow the president to bypass Congress. But with the new Senate majority, Barrasso expects Trump to rely on a narrow Republican majority in the Senate and an even narrower Republican majority in the House to pass his bill. He said he was doing it.
“When I met with President Trump early last week, I said the Senate’s No. 1 goal was to get President Trump’s team in place. I met with almost everyone,” he told host Margaret Brennan. he said. I support all of these candidates, they deserve to get the job, and President Trump assembles his team early. ”
Barrasso also said it doesn’t matter how many bills Trump needs to implement his policies, as long as they pass.
“President Trump says he doesn’t care if there’s one bill, two bills or three bills. He wants results,” Barrasso said.
