Making the American Dream Affordable Again Takes a Second Bill

Republican Study Committee members unveiled the framework for a second reconciliation bill at a press conference January 13, 2026, presenting the Reconciliation 2.0 Framework: Making the American Dream Affordable Again, a comprehensive conservative roadmap for the next reconciliation bill focused on lowering costs for American families and locking in President Trump’s America First agenda.

The event brought together leaders from across the Republican Conference, spanning budget, housing, health care, energy, technology, and values—to outline how the framework addresses the affordability crisis facing working families.

As Democrats continue to obstruct, members underscored that reconciliation remains the most effective tool to deliver results for the American people—lowering prices, restoring opportunity, and making the American Dream affordable once again.
