Story summary

President Donald Trump is urging Senate Republicans to immediately advance a $350 billion military funding bill before Democrats take control of Congress in January. The funding is intended to replenish military reserves and ammunition that have been depleted during a nine-month war with Iran. This proposal is part of a broader $1.5 trillion defense budget request aimed at investing in weapons production, military technology, and the domestic defense industrial base. To bypass a filibuster, the party plans to use budget reconciliation, a tool they used previously for tax and immigration enforcement funding. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) expressed interest in the $350 billion package but has not yet committed to its passage. While the administration views the move as a historic investment in National Security, Democrats have signaled they may block the funding once they take power.
