GOP eyes second reconciliation bill focused on fraud prevention and Medicaid cuts

House Budget Chair Jodey Arrington signaled a second post‑midterms reconciliation bill centered on fraud prevention in safety-net programs, reviving Medicaid‑spending cut ideas and offsetting new spending with Pentagon savings amid GOP internal doubts. The day also features a Senate housing package advancing with debates over CBDC and investor rules, while Republicans discuss renewing Section 702 surveillance and other election‑related reforms, all amid midterm pressures and intra‑party tensions.
