Fox News
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has come out in support of a Senate GOP effort to move out in front of their House colleagues on the crucial budget reconciliation process.
"I appreciate Chairman Graham’s leadership in crafting a budget resolution that will unlock the ability to pass a reconciliation bill to secure the border, rebuild our military, and deliver a much-needed down payment on energy security," Thune told Fox News Digital in an exclusive statement.
