  • Senate Majority Leader John Thune teed up a vote this week on a budget plan that sets the stage for a massive boost in defense and border security spending, and leaves a looming tax cut fight for later this year.

The article from MSN discusses how Republicans in Congress are attempting to advance former President Donald Trump's legislative priorities despite his absence from office. Key points include efforts to pass a bill that would require voter ID for federal elections, reflecting Trump's claims of election fraud. Additionally, there's a push to make Trump's tax cuts permanent, which were set to expire in 2025. Immigration reform, particularly border security, remains a focal point with proposals to restrict asylum and enhance border wall construction. There's also a noted interest in revisiting energy policies to favor fossil fuels, aligning with Trump's "America First" energy plan. These initiatives are being pursued through various legislative strategies, including standalone bills and incorporating these priorities into must-pass legislation like budget bills, amidst a divided Congress where bipartisan support is necessary for passage.
