President Trump is backing House GOP leadership\u2019s plan to use the filibuster-proof budget reconciliation process to pass portions of the SAVE America Act after an initially cool reception to the idea.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump on Tuesday urged GOP leaders to make the budget package \u2014 dubbed \u201creconciliation 3.0\u201d because it would be the third such effort this Congress \u2014 their No. 1 priority.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe SAVE AMERICA ACT, which everyone is asking for, paired with the full funding of our Great Department of War, can be passed very quickly, ensuring that the United States of America stays FREE for Generations to come,\u201d he said on social media.<\/p>\n

The push to use the reconciliation process to pass the SAVE America Act is a slight reversal from Mr. Trump, who has been urging Senate Republicans to scrap the chamber\u2019s 60-vote requirement to clear a filibuster or use the talking filibuster rules to get around that.<\/p>\n

Asked last month whether he would consider using reconciliation to pass some pieces of the bill, Mr. Trump said, \u201cNo, not really.\u201d<\/p>\n

It appears that House Speaker Mike Johnson, Louisiana Republican, who has been pitching the reconciliation strategy for weeks, may have finally convinced the president to get on board. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Because policies enacted through reconciliation must have a budgetary impact, Mr. Johnson has floated creating a grant program that would give states a financial incentive to adopt requirements that Americans must show proof of citizenship to register to vote and a photo ID to cast a ballot.<\/p>\n

Some Republicans have argued that would take the teeth out of the legislation, as states could simply decline to participate.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump\u2019s post did not address the grant program idea or otherwise specify which pieces of the SAVE America Act must be included in the reconciliation package.<\/p>\n

The House-passed version of the bill that has stalled in the Senate amid a Democratic filibuster and opposition from a few GOP senators did not include a ban on universal mail-in ballots or certain transgender policies that Mr. Trump has sought.<\/p>\n

Mr. Johnson said he believes the president is willing to forgo those priorities if Republicans can pass the proof of citizenship and voter ID requirements.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe would like to add the prohibition of mail-in balloting, except for exceptions like if somebody is deployed overseas or they\u2019re ill or can\u2019t get to the polling place, but he understands that one is a bigger reach,\u201d the speaker said on \u201cFox News Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we can get proof of citizenship and photo ID to vote, that eliminates so much of the problem, all the fraud and everything that everybody\u2019s concerned about in our elections, particularly, frankly, in these blue states,\u201d Mr. Johnson said. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The president also wants the reconciliation package to include $350 billion for defense needs.<\/p>\n

The fiscal 2027 budget request he sent to Congress earlier this year asked for lawmakers to provide a total of $1.5 trillion for defense, roughly $1.1 billion from annual discretionary appropriations and the remainder in mandatory appropriations passed through the budget reconciliation process.<\/p>\n

His Tuesday social media post reiterated the latter but did not factor in the $67 billion in supplemental appropriations for the Defense Department the administration requested last month to address operational costs of the war against Iran.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Military\u2019s unmatched POWER was on full display during our Celebration of 250 Years of American Independence and, like our Country, the WAR DEPARTMENT has never been \u2019HOTTER.\u2019 We need to keep it that way,\u201d Mr. Trump said.<\/p>\n

He said he wants to see the reconciliation 3.0 process kicked off \u201csoon as Congress is back in session\u201d next week.<\/p>\n

The first step is for the House and Senate to adopt an identical budget resolution with reconciliation instructions to various committees that would be involved in crafting the package.<\/p>\n

House Budget Chairman Jodey Arrington, Texas Republican, told reporters before Congress left Washington for the extended July 4 recess that the GOP conference was \u201cat least 80% there\u201d in terms of being ready to adopt a budget for the reconciliation 3.0 bill. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the preponderance of hang-up and discussion time is around pay-fors,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, South Dakota Republican, and others in his conference have been skeptical about the chances of passing a third reconciliation bill this close to the November elections because it requires party unity.<\/p>\n

While the notion of boosting defense funding unites Republicans, how to pay for it does not.<\/p>\n

Mr. Johnson said he thinks the Senate skepticism is based on speculation about what his chamber may include in the bill. He believes that is unfounded and said the House is planning to pass a reconciliation package \u201cthat will be irresistible for any Republican.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will continue to increase affordability, we\u2019ll reduce fraud, waste and abuse in government, and we\u2019ll secure elections,\u201d the speaker said. \u201cEvery Republican would vote for that if packaged correctly, and that\u2019s what we\u2019re planning to do right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
