"The odds would be like 100 percent, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said in an interview about the chances Republicans will attempt another reconciliation bill. Now, do we pass it?"
"I would keep it as simple as possible so it could pass, Johnson said."
"If you want to keep all of our members tight ... we need to agree to the parameters and not allow scope creep, Tillis said."
"Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), who is facing a tough reelection bid, said she thought reconciliation was not a 'good approach.'"
Republicans are contemplating another reconciliation bill, emphasizing immigration enforcement funding and elements of the SAVE America Act. Senators Ron Johnson and Thom Tillis advocate for a narrow scope to enhance the bill's chances of passing. A limited focus could also prevent Democrats from leveraging simple-majority votes against vulnerable GOP incumbents ahead of the midterms. However, skepticism exists within the Senate GOP, with some members expressing doubts about the reconciliation approach, particularly in light of upcoming elections.
