Ron Johnson Unveils FY2027 Budget Resolution to Unlock Reconciliation for 3 Priority Areas

Summary
Ron Johnson introduced a fiscal 2027 budget resolution that would open the reconciliation process for election integrity measures and the Trump administration’s national security supplemental request.
The Wisconsin Republican said the move is needed because Democratic opposition has blocked what he argued should have been a bipartisan supplemental for troops, intelligence services, farmers and election-related priorities.
Johnson, who chairs the Senate Budget Committee, framed the resolution as a blueprint to fund what he called the bare minimum required for national defense and support for service members in harm’s way.
The proposal now sets up a partisan budget route to advance those priorities, using reconciliation instead of a stand-alone supplemental appropriations package.
