Explaining the Congressional budget reconciliation process

April 12th marks an important date for Congress. It marks the 100th day of our new Congress and a moment for us to assess our work and accomplishments so far for the American people.

In this brief period, we’ve already accomplished so much.The Senate has been in session around the clock, working in Washington for the longest stretch in 15 years, while also overseeing the quickest confirmation process for nominees in two decades.

Over the past couple of months, we’ve been especially busy crafting a budget to start a process called ‘reconciliation’, which will help us enact our agenda to keep taxes low, unleash American energy, support our military, and secure the border.
