Budget Chairs Push Reconciliation 2.0. Can It Get off the Ground?

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham and Rep. Jodey Arrington are coordinating a 'Reconciliation 2.0' effort to pass major conservative goals with a simple majority. The plan aims to resolve the 40-day shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), provide necessary funding for the U.S. military involved in a conflict with Iran, and incorporate the SAVE America Act's voter ID requirements. While the DHS shutdown and military needs provide urgency, House conservatives express skepticism regarding whether non-budgetary policy like voter ID can survive the Senate Parliamentarian's scrutiny under the Byrd Rule.
