House Republicans plan to use a filibuster-proof budget reconciliation bill to pay for the Iran war, sidelining Democrats who threatened to block the military spending.<\/p>\n

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Tuesday confirmed the Budget Committee was working on the first step in the budget reconciliation process.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to be able to protect our national security,\u201d Mr. Johnson told reporters, declining to go into specifics of the proposals or reveal spending targets.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump has requested $350 billion through reconciliation to make up part of its unprecedented $1.5 trillion defense budget request.<\/p>\n

He has also called for the bill to advance the goals of the Save America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and a photo ID at the polls.<\/p>\n

The Senate parliamentarian previously said the election legislation did not meet the strict rules to be included in a budget reconciliation bill. Mr. Johnson previously floated the idea of establishing a federal grant program via reconciliation to encourage states\u2019 adoption of the election policies the president advocates.<\/p>\n

The election provisions remain a part of Republicans\u2019 reconciliation discussions, said Rep. Bryan Steil, who chairs the House Administration Committee that oversees election policy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there are meaningful things that we can do inside the reconciliation process to move election integrity forward, but that\u2019s ultimately the conversation that we\u2019re having,\u201d Mr. Steil, Wisconsin Republican, told The Washington Times.<\/p>\n

At the moment, House Republicans are not sure what exactly will go into the bill, although defense is the overall focus.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt hasn\u2019t all been decided yet,\u201d Rep. Randy Fine, a Florida Republican, told reporters at the Capitol.<\/p>\n

To guide the bill to passage, Mr. Johnson will have to rally his narrow majority.<\/p>\n

Rep. Don Bacon, a Nebraska Republican who is not seeking reelection, said he is skeptical about using reconciliation to secure such a large spending increase.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we\u2019re raising the spending, I think it would be better to work with Democrats on this,\u201d he said. \u201cThey should share the responsibility here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, he said he would support the reconciliation bill \u201cif that\u2019s what it takes.\u201d<\/p>\n

One faction Mr. Johnson must wrangle is the fiscal hawks, many of whom want to offset spending increases with cuts.<\/p>\n

But House moderates, some of them from blue states and swing districts, do not want to scramble to find huge spending cuts in the waning days before the midterm elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat option simply isn\u2019t possible,\u201d said Rep. Nick LaLota, a New York Republican. \u201cThere\u2019s no way you\u2019re going to be able to offset $60 [billion or] $100 billion altogether.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also backed the spending wholeheartedly and said it should \u201cenjoy full bipartisan support\u201d given the depletion of American ammunition for the wars in Ukraine and Iran.<\/p>\n

It is unlikely any Democrats will support the measure, which Republicans argue is a matter of national security.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe administration wants an up-or-down vote from Republicans on this,\u201d House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar of California told The Washington Times. \u201cThey are not engaging with Democrats and talking about what our munition levels are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Aguilar added, \u201cIf the administration wants to have a substantive conversation about stockpiles to protect this country, Democrats are all ears for it. But that\u2019s not been where they have landed.\u201d<\/p>\n
