Thune lays out plan for separate border and tax reconciliation bills

Senator John Thune (R-S.D.) has proposed a strategy to pass separate border security and tax reconciliation bills in the Senate, aiming to address key Republican priorities before the November elections. Thune's plan involves using the budget reconciliation process, which allows for the passage of certain budget-related legislation with a simple majority, thus avoiding a filibuster. He suggested that the Senate could consider a border security bill first, followed by a tax bill, potentially in the summer. This approach would enable Republicans to focus on issues like border security, which they believe are critical for voter appeal, while also addressing tax cuts that are set to expire. Thune emphasized the importance of these bills for the GOP's legislative agenda, especially in light of the upcoming election cycle.
