House and Senate Work on Reconciliation Packages with Real Results
|
|
For months now, House and Senate Republicans have discussed a way to fund President Donald Trump’s agenda. With a slim Republican majority in the House and Senate, passing a large appropriations package is nearly impossible. With a 60-vote threshold on such a bill, they would have to negotiate with Democrats. Even proceeding to another continuing resolution (CR) would pose problems with House Freedom Caucus members and undermine all DOGE efforts. However, reconciliation is one legislative vehicle they can use to their advantage.
