Republicans in the Senate and House are bucking spending levels agreed upon in the debt ceiling deal earlier this year. But they&#8217;re headed in different directions.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, Republicans on the Senate Appropriations Committee joined Democrats in pushing a plan to increase defense spending beyond the negotiated cap, advancing an $832 billion Pentagon spending bill that includes an extra $8 billion in emergency funds.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We reached bipartisan agreement to respond to some of our nation&#8217;s pressing challenges with additional emergency appropriations,&#8221; Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray, D-Wash., said before the panel advanced the defense spending bill 27-1. Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., was the lone &#8220;no&#8221; vote.<\/p>\n<p>The move comes as House Republicans are attempting to slash nondefense spending well below the $704 billion agreed to in the debt ceiling bill, amid fervent Democratic opposition.<\/p>\n<p>So far, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has resisted efforts to boost defense spending, and Republican House appropriators have kept their defense funding bills within the military spending cap &#8212; a 3.3% increase over this year in line with President Joe Biden&#8217;s budget request.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Military Times has additional information <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/congress\/budget\/2023\/07\/27\/senators-rally-to-boost-defense-spending-with-1-billion-for-taiwan\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The proposed aid for Taiwan would be conducted similar to that provided to Ukraine.
