GOP lawmakers will try again this week to pass a defense budget

House Republicans will try again this week to advance their funding outline for the Defense Department in fiscal 2024 .

The House was set to vote on the $826 billion plan last week , but GOP leaders shelved the legislation after members of the GOP ’s right-of-right Freedom Caucus indicated they would not support the bill without additional cuts to non-defense spending.

The standoff further exacerbates tensions surrounding all of Congress ’ undone budget work.
