Republicans are warning of dire consequences if Congress fails to deliver on the $350 billion sought by the Pentagon through reconciliation. But they’re also acknowledging how heavy a lift it will be.
“We’re gonna have to pass it but … it would be very difficult,” said Rep. Michael McCaul
(R-Texas).
Their warnings come amid significant GOP heartburn over the Senate-passed “skinny” reconciliation 2.0 budget resolution, which many Republicans would like to expand to include other priorities beyond funding ICE and Border Patrol.
