Lawmakers Face Major Decisions On Pentagon Funding
The recent midterm elections have set the stage for a major shift in defense spending priorities in Washington. With Democrats taking control of Capitol Hill, Congress faces significant decisions on defense funding and oversight. Republicans have a small window to advance their defense funding priorities before the transition. The lame-duck session will be crucial in determining the fate of defense funding, and renewed efforts to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth could add to the complexity.
