Craig Caplan @CraigCaplan - Senate Budget Chair Graham: "I told Secretary Hegseth that I would be pushing for a supplemental appropriations bill with funds for the military and other needs of the country. Any shortfall between the supplemental and the $355 billion could be made up in reconciliation 3.0...In my view, time is of the essence."

I had a very productive meeting with @SecWar Pete Hegseth and his very talented team. I told Pete that I’ve never been more proud of the men and women of the U.S. military -- and the civilians who support them -- than I am right now.
Secretary Hegseth has done an outstanding job, in my opinion, dealing with Iran and beyond. We discussed the urgent need to plus up the military budget to deal with replenishing and restoring our stockpile of weapons and other one-time expenses being incurred by constant conflict. I suggested $355 billion.

Secretary Hegseth is a big proponent of another reconciliation bill for the Department of War, as is @POTUS. As Senate Budget Committee Chairman, I will be working with Senate leadership, @BudgetGOP, the Department of War and the White House to see if we can get this process moving as expeditiously as possible. In my view, time is of the essence. We cannot turn our backs on an historic opportunity to help the Department of War at a time of multiple conflicts. Stay tuned.
