Rep. Flood Says Shutdown Is 'Not in America's Interest'
Rep. Mike Flood said House Republicans are prioritizing passage of a continuing resolution to fund the government through the election period, calling it essential to avoid a shutdown. He also backed the GOP's reconciliation push, arguing the package is a less expensive path than negotiating a larger bipartisan supplemental with Democrats. Flood defended funding for munitions and agriculture, said the defense number should be far lower than Trump's $1.5 trillion target, and framed farmer aid as a necessary response to weak commodity prices rather than a failure of tariff policy. He spoke with Kailey Leinz and Joe Mathieu on Balance of Power.
