""I need to have a strong partner in the Senate, and I've got that with Lindsey. He's been as enthusiastic as anybody ... on a reconciliation 2.0.""
""Reconciliation is the only path to a defense supplemental. I'm not opposed to adding DHS funding to any reconciliation bill. It's going to become a public safety issue.""
""I'd like regular order, but I'm ready to go on reconciliation. We need to do another one, no matter what.""
""It won't just be defense. It has to have offsets in savings. We have a boatload of savings from fraud and improper payments.""
Republican leaders are advocating for a reconciliation bill to secure funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and defense. Arrington expressed the necessity of a strong Senate partner, highlighting Lindsey Graham's enthusiasm for a second reconciliation bill. Discussions among GOP members indicate progress on DHS funding, with Thune considering reconciliation as a viable option. Arrington emphasized that any funding package must include offsets from savings, particularly from fraud and improper payments, to ensure fiscal responsibility.
