Republicans Plan Last Reconciliation Bill Before New Congress Sworn In

With two months remaining before Democrats take control of both chambers, Republican lawmakers are preparing a final reconciliation bill to pass key priorities without opposition. The package includes billions for the Iran war, debt limit increases, voting restrictions, and crypto measures, though passage depends solely on GOP votes rather than Democratic input. This legislative push occurs alongside critical year-end deadlines such as avoiding another government shutdown on December 11 and passing the annual defense policy bill during a short lame-duck session where attendance may be limited.
