Graham Elected Senate Budget Committee Chairman

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) made this statement after he was elected Senate Budget Committee Chairman by the Republican conference for the 119^th Congress on December 20, 2024.

"I am honored to have been elected Senate Budget Committee Chairman by the Republican conference. The Senate Budget Committee - through the reconciliation process - will aggressively push the most transformational border security bill in American history and revitalize our military.

"We're going to give President Trump and his team the resources they need to finish the wall, put technology on the border to obtain operational control, hire more ICE agents to deport gang members and criminals, and create more detention space so we don't have to release illegal immigrants into the country.

"We will make the Navy bigger and more lethal.

"We are going to do all of this in weeks, not months."
