The Biden White House recently alleged the Republican lawmakers who now control the House of Representatives will pursue spending cuts that will “defund” the U.S. military. In a Monday response, the new Republican House Majority Whip accused the Biden administration of “peddling lies” about Republican plans.
Republicans, who recently took over control of the House, appear to be going through an internal debate about what spending priorities are on the table as they work to reduce government spending. In a recent interview with “Fox News Sunday,” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) faced a question about whether defense spending could be cut, to which he replied, “We got a $32 trillion debt. Everything has to be on the table.”
