US: GOP To Pass Reconciliation Bill Within 30 Days Of Trump Presidency, Thune

Incoming Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) "laid out an ambitious timeline" for budget reconciliation during a five-hour all-conference Republican policy retreat today, according to Punchbowl News.

  • Thune said he wants to pass a non-tax reconciliation bill within the first 30 days of the Trump administration, referring to the manoeuvre by which the party in control of Congress can pass legislation without support from the minority party.
  • Thune said that the first reconciliation package will be focused on border security, defence, and energy. Republicans are confident it will survive the Byrd Bath - scrutiny from the Senate Parliamentarian to ensure the bill only relates to government spending - because they believe Democrats expanded the scope of reconciliation with the Inflation Reduction Act and American Rescue Plan. The early move on a border security and energy bill will give Republicans time to complete the more complex tax-focused reconciliation package.
  • Thune also told reporters that Fridays will be voting days and votes will no longer be held open indefinitely, according to Punchbowl.
