Republican legislators are not seeing eye to eye when it comes to defense spending, considering that there are those who would like to increase the budget, while some take a conservative stance due to a looming debt.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS), both top Republican members of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), want an increase in the defense budget. However, according to The Hill, some conservatives do not share their position.
