The Senate Budget Committee will move forward with drafting a second budget reconciliation bill focused on homeland security, defense, and election integrity, Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) announced on March 25.
Graham said the effort follows discussions with President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.). He emphasized that national security remains the federal government’s top responsibility, arguing that even a relatively small share of the budget devoted to law enforcement can have an outsized impact.
