Top Republican pushes for reconciliation 3.0 to address affordability

As Congress scrambles to assemble a third reconciliation package, the Chairman of the Republican Study Committee (RSC) struck an optimistic tone in an interview on the "Ruthless Podcast."

"On affordability, on fraud, and on defense, I think that we're going to run a two-minute drill," Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, said in an exclusive interview released Tuesday morning. "In fact, we’re in the middle of planning for it right now."

Reconciliation is a budget-related measure that can pass the Senate on a simple majority vote.
