Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell called the bipartisan spending bill 'a strong outcome for Republicans.'
The Republicans warn that their Senate colleagues would be giving up an important point of leverage—"the power of the purse"—that could be used to address the Biden administration's"purposeful refusal to secure and defend our borders."
"[W]e are obliged to inform you that if any omnibus passes in the remaining days of this Congress, we will oppose and whip opposition to any legislative priority of those senators who vote for this bill—including the Republican leader," the letter said. The letter concludes:"Kill this terrible bill or there is no point in pretending we are a united party, and we must prepare for a new political reality."
He said on Monday that Republicans had flipped Biden's position on military spending"on its head" and that the bill"provides a substantial real-dollar increase to the defense baseline and a substantial real-dollar cut to the nondefense, non-veterans baseline."
