Senate Republicans are rejecting a Dem proposal to attach a debt limit fix to the annual defense policy bill
Senate Republicans are rejecting a proposal floated by congressional Democratic leaders to attach a debt limit fix to the annual defense policy measure — typically treated as a must-pass bill.
“I think that sets a bad precedent,” Ernst said. “It might be able to pass, but it's something we all need to talk about, and I just don't think we should be operating like this.” Democrats have privately suggested that McConnell is open to attaching the debt limit onto the defense policy bill, and the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee suggested Monday night that he would still vote yes on the combined vehicle: “What I don’t want to do — is for anything to happen to our NDAA that would negatively impact it,” Oklahoma's Jim Inhofe told reporters.
The second and third options would ultimately move the two bills as a single piece of legislation. In any of those three scenarios, the legislation would likely need at least 10 GOP votes to advance, an outcome that appears unlikely for the second and third options. Sen. James Lankford described including the debt limit in the defense policy bill as a “terrible idea” and predicted it would fail to get the needed support from 10 Republicans to move forward.
