(Bloomberg) -- Vice President-elect Mike Pence told House Republicans in a closed-door meeting Thursday to be ready to move a lot of legislation next year, Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady said.
"Donald Trump is a man of action and were counting on you " Pence said, according to Brady. The California Republican said that Pence mentioned a tax overhaul and Obamacare, but didnt get into specifics.
Pence, a former House member himself, returned to the U.S. Capitol Thursday to visit with House Republicans, and he plans to meet later with top Democratic leaders in the House and Senate.
Pences closed-door meeting with Speaker Paul Ryan and other House Republicans reflected his vital role as President-elect Trumps top liaison to Congress. His visit was squeezed in even as Pence is overseeing the building of a Trump administration, a transition effort seen as marked by infighting.
