How the Cooling Saucer May Freeze Out Reconciliation
The House’s reconciliation process is ongoing, unpredictable and slow. But the House drama may prove to be the easy part, NOTUS’ Ursula Perano and Helen Huiskes report.
“All along, both chambers have maintained wildly different visions for the reconciliation bill,” they write, and as the House moves forward with a bill aimed at keeping the GOP’s tiny minority together, there’s no indication the Senate GOP will simply swallow whatever the House produces. This, of course, puts additional pressure on the timing of everything — with congressional leaders saying they want this thing done by July while neither chamber has released a word of language.
