- Mike Flood (R-Neb.) said Sunday he supports providing the Pentagon with more funding amid the Iran war over passing legislation to implement Trump's $5,000 dividend proposal
- Flood said he first wants to see the actual $5,000 dividend proposal before weighing in, while asserting military funding is his immediate priority
Why it matters: A Republican lawmaker publicly subordinating Trump's signature $5,000 check plan to Pentagon spending signals potential intra-party tension over economic priorities while the U.S. remains engaged in military operations against Iran — a divergence that could complicate passage of the dividend legislation.
