Trump demands $350B Pentagon infusion, elections overhaul in next party-line GOP bill
President Trump is demanding $350 billion in Pentagon funding and passage of the stalled SAVE America Act through a party-line GOP bill under reconciliation rules to avoid Senate Democratic filibusters. The bill faces skepticism due to tight legislative timelines, potential fiscal offsets, and the Senate's previous difficulty passing similar legislation before the November midterms.
