"We must capitalize on the momentum we’ve generated in the first 6 months of a Republican trifecta in Washington," RSC Chairman August Pfluger, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital. "To fulfill the promises we made to the American people, conservatives must begin laying the groundwork for the second reconciliation bill to ensure we continue to drive down the cost of living and restore America’s promise for future generations."
House Republicans left Washington on Wednesday to kick off a five-week recess period, where they're readying to sell the benefits of their first massive agenda bill to their constituents.
Meanwhile, Pfluger also directed lawmakers part of the new working group to begin reaching out to colleagues, conservative senators, and GOP organizations about potential policy proposals for a new bill, Fox News Digital was told.
The goal of the new group is to create a framework for what a second "big, beautiful bill" could look like, and to recommend that framework to GOP leaders.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told "Sunday Morning Futures" earlier this month that he was eyeing multiple reconciliation bills.
"With President Trump coming back to the White House, and us having the responsibility for fixing every metric of public policy that Biden and Harris and the Democrats destroyed over the previous four years – so the big beautiful bill was the first big step in that," he told host Maria Bartiromo.
"But we have multiple steps ahead of us. We have long planned for at least two, possibly three, reconciliation bills, one in the fall and one next spring."
