What is your expectation as to how quickly this will get done and if it is going to be narrowly targeted to just those specific components of the Department of Homeland Security or if other members may want to be adding things to this package?

Well, and to be clear, Congresswoman, to get all of the parts of the agency fully funded, are you supportive of the plan to pass the Senate, pass DHS funding bill X, ICE and CBP, and then handling those portions with reconciliation?

That two-track plan, is that one that works for you?

Well, and of course, this is Reconciliation 2.0 that we're talking about here.

But Congresswoman, I'm sure you're well aware that there's a lot of buzz about a third reconciliation package.

In fact, your chair on the House Ways and Means Committee, Jason Smith, has suggested if there's going to be one, there's going to be some tax measures included.

What would you like to see included in a third reconciliation package?

Do you think achieving that is a realistic legislative outcome in a midterm election year?

All right, we have to leave it there.

Thank you, as always, for joining us.

As we consider how they vote and the actual mechanisms through which people can vote, what they would need to provide to be able to exercise that key element of democracy.

That is something that is the subject of debate right now on Capitol Hill as Republican lawmakers are pushing various pieces of legislation intended, as they say, to improve the integrity

of elections in America.

One such effort is being spearheaded by Congressman Brian Stile of Wisconsin, the chair of the House Administration Committee, who introduced the MEGA Act and talked to us about what it's intended to achieve earlier this hour.

That's the chair of the House Administration Committee.

We now turn to its ranking member.

Congressman Joe Morelli, the Democrat from New York, is here with us now on Bloomberg TV and radio.

So you just heard your colleague's argument there, Congressman.

We appreciate you joining us.
