Senate ready to roll with bill to support phase one of Trump’s agenda, House has hang-ups
Senate Budget Committee Chair Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) will be ready on Wednesday to brief Republican senators about moving forward regarding a $100 billion funding package. The items in the package include the U.S. – Mexico border, oil and gas drilling, and a significant increase in defense spending, according to The Hill.
“We do have a bill ready to go here and Sen. Graham is going to be briefing the conference on that tomorrow at lunch,” said Senate Republican Whip John Barrasso (Wyo.).
The House is struggling with putting together a border, energy and tax bill which will bring about a majority vote, according to Politico.
