Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., predicts President Donald Trump's budget will never get through the Senate, The Hill reports.
"
It is clear that this budget proposed today cannot pass the Senate," he said.
Lawmakers must come up with a deal "that provides sufficient funds to rebuild the military," McCain added.
According to NBC News, the proposed $603 billion defense budget pumps $54 billion more into the Pentagon and protecting the nation’s borders.
But McCain said that the hike in defense funding is "
not sufficient" enough.
McCain wants more money set aside for the military and calls Trump’s budget inadequate.
"Moving forward,
it is imperative that we work together to reach a bipartisan agreement that provides sufficient funds to rebuild the military," McCCain said, the Washington Examiner reported. "
Failure to do so will only lead to more political dysfunction that has inflicted such harm on our men and women in uniform over the past six years."
