McConnell and McCarthy are unified on trying to stop Biden's $3.5 trillion budget.

But McConnell and McCarthy are working hand-in-hand on what they view as the biggest battle with Biden and congressional Democrats, the proposed $3.5 trillion expansion of the social safety net program, according to a half-dozen senior GOP advisers in the House and Senate.
On Friday, senior staffers for the House and Senate budget committees led a call with GOP leadership aides to plot strategy for how they could upend House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s move to pass the blueprint for that massive budget resolution the week of Aug. 23. Their press operations continue an informal lunch gathering of both congressional leadership staff and the outside political arms.

If it were $3.5 trillion in tax breaks for the well to do these two would accuse Biden of being stingy.
