If that happens with people like you, and I have to say, you were extraordinarily helpful and important in the last presidential campaign. And I think you made a significant difference, particularly in reaching out to younger Americans. So with the help of the entire team that elected him president, we have a chance to make sure we not only just keep the House, but we actually increase our margin.
There are 13 Democrats in seats that Donald Trump carried. There are another 21 Democrats that are in seats he got within 5%. They're going to vote very strangely, very much against the American people. And we have a real chance to beat them and to substantially increase the majority that Speaker Johnson has to work with.
Well, let me just say, as part of the background, that I've engineered this before. We were the only Congress in 100 years to pass four consecutive balanced budgets, pass welfare reform, pass tax cuts, pass food and drug administration reform, invent Medicare Advantage. We did all that with a Democratic president. Why?
Because we followed Ronald Reagan's principle, Abraham Lincoln's principle, which is you start with the American people. President Trump, if he will campaign for about 10 weeks and go into the districts I just mentioned, the 34 that are vulnerable Democrats, he will pass a big bill. I don't think you can do that twice in the first six months of the year.
And I think it's desperately important that that be the tax cuts, deregulation, energy cuts. affordability bill. I think you can throw in things for immigration. He's frankly going to do a lot on immigration without a bill. And I think people say, oh, we want a quick early victory. No, I want a decisive victory that shapes the economy for next year to give us a chance to keep the House.
Anything less than that is a failure. And I think the Senate is so cumbersome and so difficult to work just structurally that even though John Thune is going to be a very good majority leader and very cooperative with Trump, frankly, he would have a very hard time getting two big bills through the Senate in six months.
So if I have to choose, I want one really big bill, as Trump described it, one big, beautiful bill. And I think that's the safest if you want to keep a majority in the House. And it's the safest if you want the Trump presidency to be successful.
Great to be with you.
