PENCE TO HOUSE GOP: 'BUCKLE UP' FOR TRUMP AGENDA
VP-elect receives standing ovation in closed-door meeting with former colleagues
(WASHINGTON EXAMINER) Vice-president elect Pence on Thursday made a triumphant return to Capitol Hill, where he told Republican lawmakers they need to “buckle up and be ready to work extremely hard,” according to lawmakers in the room.
Pence, who ran the House Republican conference just a few years ago, was met with thunderous applause and a standing ovation in a closed-door meeting with his former colleagues. He is expected to play an outsized role in moving the Trump agenda, which includes repealing Obamacare, a longtime GOP goal.
Republicans said Thursday they will convene on Jan. 3 and remain in session to work on a repeal bill that could pass by using a budgetary tool known as reconciliation, which would allow a repeal bill to pass with just 51 votes in the Senate instead of the customary 60 votes.
