Speaker Mike Johnson@SpeakerJohnsonOct 26, 2026CBO's estimate of laws enacted in the first session of the 119th Congress shows a $4.6 trillion decrease in revenues over 2025–2034, matching the claimed figure. The CBO figure is a 10-year projection covering enacted legislation, not a House-only tally, and the sources do not cover the second session.
What was said
… three-year anniversary of his Speakership, conservative and industry leaders are commending House Republicans and Speaker Johnson for delivering historic results for the American people, all while navigating one of the smallest House majorities in history.

Supports. CBO reports that laws enacted in the first session of the 119th Congress produce a $4.6 trillion decrease in revenues over 2025–2034, the figure the claim cites.[1]
Context. The CBO figure is a 10-year projected revenue reduction from enacted legislation, not a realized tally of taxes lowered, and it covers only the first session (2025 to January 2026).[1]
Context. The $4.6 trillion figure originates in Speaker Johnson's office statement, which is the claimant's own wording and cannot corroborate the claim; the extracted claim matches that passage without widening its scope.[2]
Context. Other sources repeat the $4.6 trillion figure (Foxx report, a McClain office statement cited by the Daily Caller) without independent analysis, so they add no corroboration.[3][4]
