Republicans divided over pre-election stimulus push as economy slows
Republicans are currently divided regarding whether to attempt a last-ditch effort to pass legislation designed to stimulate the economy and motivate voters before Election Day. This debate arises because federal data indicates that the economy is slowing, while inflation continues to be an issue. Separately, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise previously floated the idea of enacting a fourth budget reconciliation.
