🇺🇸Republicans face BIG problems in getting one last reconciliation bill through in lame duck
- Budget Chair Johnson says he's "not getting engagement from the White House, from either Senate or House leadership"
- Kennedy: “If you’re asking me if we have a plan right now, I wouldn’t recognize it if it jumped up and yodeled and bit me in the butt"
- Hawley + Rand say they won't vote for more war funding. Rand calls it "tone deaf" and "not listening to our electorate"
- Hawks say it's imperative to restock the Pentagon after 9 months of war.
- Murkowski + Collins don't like reconciliation
- Logistical challenges: Would need to survive two budget vote-a-ramas and get 50 in Senate and majority in the House
- Many Rs want to put lots more than Pentagon funding. Justice: “What we’re trying to do is jam 18 things into a four-thing box"
