Graham and other Republican senators — along with Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Jack Reed — are “looking for creative ways to increase the Pentagon budget” beyond the $886 billion topline,“The most likely vehicle is the next emergency supplemental for Ukraine, which they hope to cram with cash for other Pentagon priorities that normally wouldn’t be in the measure,” according to.
