By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Senator Bernie Moreno has proposed that Republicans cancel their Thanksgiving recess and convene from November 9th to December 31st if they lose their majority in the upcoming midterms. This period would be used to pass a large reconciliation bill containing all Republican priorities. Discussions are already underway regarding the potential contents of such a package, with key legislative items like government funding, defense spending, and the debt ceiling potentially included. The administration's priorities, such as missile defense systems and military upgrades, are also contingent on this reconciliation maneuver. AI
